On various mannequins, whose posture, hair-do and make-up further intensify the female image of the specific period, fourteen hand-made paper dresses are presented.
The floral motives on the paper are derived from the botanical handbook Flora Danica from1648.
All dresses have their own specific cut and show the dress styles for women from the year 1800 up to now: from the French empire dress to the A-line from the sixties and from the Romantic German evening gown from 1830 to the ultra-short skirt from the eighties.
