Dress Codes

School Visit Guide

About this learning resource

Format: PDF

A simple guide to support your school visit to the Dress Codes exhibition at Kensington Palace.

Explore the codes and conventions of royal clothing, and the powerful impact fashion can make when boundaries are pushed and dress codes evolve.

Alongside the spectacular examples of royal and court dress, discover how dress codes can be reset and re-made for today through designs by our Young Producers, aged 14-17. This new partnership with local youth groups paves the way for a new generation of young people to contribute to the arts and fashion industries.

The guide includes:

  • booking information
  • introduction to the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection
  • suggested activities for before, during and after your visit.
