It was great to see the clothing.
They were so tiny!
But maby I am just tall.
In F1 you see me standing beside a dress.
And the stiches were much smaller than my machine can make them.
Most of the costumes where displayd so that you can see all sides.
I can't wait to next year when I hopefully go to the Kyoto museum.
Willet-Holthuysen museum
It is a small museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is in a 17th century
canalside house on the Gentelmans Canal.
It is a special exebithion that runs to the 22 of January. The
Willet-Holthuysen museum is part of the Amsterdam Historical Museum.

The book from the exebition is called " Rijk Gekleed, van doopjurk tot
baljapon 1750-1940" by Annemarie Dekker
ISBN 90 68683985 it is in Dutch. Publisher http://www.thoth.nl/.
All the clothing are real and not reproductions.
Most of the pieces are given to the Amsterdam Historical museum from
private collections.
I tried to translate some info on the costumes.
