I went to the Palace of Legion of Honor in San Francisco to see the High Style exhibit from the Brooklyn Museum Costume Collection. This evening dress of raw silk and sequins was designed by Bonnie Cashin about 1945, and donated by her in 1962. The entire exhibit is really fantastic. If you are in SF, I highly ecommend it. It's open until July 19, 2015.
