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.

I think this is the same exhibit that was at the Italian Embassy in DC
or a couple of weeks in 2008. 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.
