Take Part in Fancy Pants with Your Family's Fashion History!


Saturday 30th November will see the launch of the Memory Box!

Fancy being part of Fancy Pants?! You can contribute to our exhibition 'Fancy Pants: A Celebration of Style 1920 - 1945' by sharing your family photos and memories!

We're looking for family photos depicting fashions from the 1920s to 1945. Copies of photos (please don't bring originals as we can't return them!) can be deposited in the 'Memory Box' at Worcester Museum or in Second Hand Rose, along with a form telling us about the photo and any stories and memories you have of the person or persons in the pic!

We're looking for great examples of period clothing in photos from weddings, parties, everyday wear, wartime fashion, military uniform etc, anything that will help us tell the story of our fashion history from the 1920s to 1945.


The Memory Box will be at Worcester Museum and Art Gallery on Foregate St from Saturday 30th November at our Vintage & Craft Christmas Bazaar! See full details in the photo below. There will also be a box at Second Hand Rose in the Hopmarket from Tuesday 3rd December.

High quality digitised photos can also be emailed to usJust get in touch and share your stories of former fashion glories!



Welcome!



We're excited to announce that July 2014 will see the launch of our vintage fashion exhibition
Fancy Pants: A Celebration of Style 1920 - 1945 at Worcester City Museum and Art Gallery, Foregate Street.

We're currently researching the County archives and uncovering never before seen vintage fashion treasures from the 1920s to 1945. We'll be showcasing what Worcester wore during these decades in a family friendly exhibition with plenty to set pulses racing for vintage fashion aficionados.

We'll be documenting our research here on the blog, highlighting vintage details that delight us and giving a behind the scenes view of how we put exhibition together.
