One of the exhibits on display - "Evening dress" by Victor Stiebel. Given by Lady Templer, the wife of Field Marshal Sir Gerald Templer, Commander-in-Chief of the British and Commonwealth forces, the dress is an original model gown, bought late in the season at a reduced price. The straps were added at the client's request.
