I saw this exhibit at the embassy in DC. Most of the reconstructions are very good, but one had me wondering -- the gown was actually below the bosom so all you saw on top was the chemise over the mannequin's boobs! The neckline of the gown was at ribcage level.

It too wasn't well publicized - I only ound out about it by luck and had to make an appointment to see it. Very, very good, because I could get very close to everything and even ack views of some of the reconstructions. I have photos; if there's nterest I can put them on Flickr or the like. Allison T.
