Colour Our Collections: Design for dress with sailor collar and bows by Walter Crane (1845-1915)

Walter Crane (1845-1915), Design for dress with sailor collar and bows. Accession number: WCA.1.2.3.1.59

A few of us Visitor Team Assistants went to see Barbie after work recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Whitworth’s collections contain plenty of fun dress designs and designs for costumes by Walter Crane (1845-1915), which reminded us of the dresses and costumes sported by Barbie and other dolls during out childhood.

This design for nautical-themed dress with a sailor collar and bows was hand traced and transformed into a colouring sheet by Hannah from the Visitor Team. You can download your free copy of the colouring sheet below:
