Fabulous fabrics from fashions past
Now online, from Hampshire Museums Service - a website to accompany the Passion for Patterns show, on at Havant Museum till 28th August. It's a great look at trends in patterned textiles used to make dress and accessories over the last 250 years, with themed 'pattern books' to browse.

Some home made clothing used such fabrics while rationing was still in place or only just over. Accession number C2003.58 (c) Hampshire Museums Service Coat dress c1970. Bright green coloured synthetic fabric printed with white Mary Quant-inspired daisy motif. Label:Marks and Spencer. Accession number C1989.85/1 (c) Hampshire Museums Service
