All Dressed Up features more than 30 recent additions to the collection, including extraordinary garments by revered European couturiers Chanel, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Lanvin that will be displayed for the first time. American fashion designers -- including Indiana's own Norman Norell and Halston -- will also be represented. Other objects featured will include three paper dresses representing the "throwaway culture" of the 1960s, and whimsical, surrealistic Bes-Ben hats created by "Chicago's Mad Hatter" Benjamin Green-Field. The highlight of the exhibition is an 1880s Imperial Russian court dress, created by Charles Fredrick Worth, which belonged to Maria Maximilianova Romanovska, a greatgranddaughter of the French Empress Josephine and granddaughter of the Tsar Nicholas I of Russia.
