Dressed Up is a major new exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia, opening on December 5, 2026. The exhibition explores the intersection of fashion and photography from 1850 to 1920, showcasing historical South Australian dresses alongside early photography. It offers insights into the craftsmanship of dressmakers and the social changes of that era. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to view works from AGSA’s rich collections, illuminated by recent research into the makers and wearers of these garments.
