Gallery spokesman Tim Pollock said an incredible variety of personal garments sewn at home by high-profile Dunedinites have transformed the touring New Zealand Fashion Museum Home Sewn exhibition.La Femme dress

Showing at the gallery from Saturday until April 7, Home Sewn looks at the evolution of home sewing and documents the changing face of fashion. 

Locally-made pieces include the wedding dress of leading Dunedin fashion retailer Diann Waugh (designed and made by herself) and an ensemble designed and sewn by Margot Barton of the Otago Polytechnic School of Design (Fashion). 

Waugh's dress is long and flowing. It was made after a visit to London and inspired by the British mid-70s fashion scene. Barton's pieces include jodhpurs and a top crafted from coloured enamelled tiles.long sleeves wedding dress

Home Sewn also includes a piece from London-based milliner Stephen Jones - a 2013 iD guest and judge at this year's iD International Emerging Designers Award. 

"That hat is a knock-out," Pollock said. Jones wore the navy and silver trilby to the exhibition of his millinery in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. 

Home Sewn also incorporates garments featured fashion designers made for themselves; including Nom*d's Margi Robertson, Mild Red's Donna Tulloch, and Tanya Carlson. 

New Zealand Fashion Museum curator Doris de Pont curated the original Home Sewn Exhibition in Auckland last September. 

"Doris has been really generous in that she's allowed me to play with [the exhibition] a bit," Pollock said. "I've given it a real injection of Dunedin designers, essentially to link with iD Dunedin because that's such a big thing for Dunedin. There is so much talent in this town. And this is one moment in the year when it can all be presented and celebrated and it's nice to be a part of that.Beautiful Bridesmaids Dresses"
