PPS. V&A instructions

If you happen to find yourself in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London at any point between now and April 2013, why don't you go and visit my "Cross Dress"? 

...Oh yes, because it's impossible to find.

BUT WAIT! 
NO MORE!
HERE'S A STEP BY STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO FIND MY DRESS:

H'ochkay. So. If you're going in the main entrance, go in and go straight. Not completely straight, or you'll walk straight into the reception desk and people will look at you. Go around the reception desk, and through the entrance to the gift shop opposite. Go straight through the gift shop (or stop and buy stuff, but that's a bit weird if you've just got there), and into the sculpture corridor on the other side. Turn left and walk to the end of the sculpture corridor. 

You will see this:

 To the left is the Exhibiton Road entrance, and to the right is the entrance to the tunnel and the Sackler Centre, where the Inspired By... Collection is on display.

The exit to the tunnel will be straight ahead, and the doors to the Sackler Centre on the right:


See? Go through them.


You will find yourself in a long, mysterious corridor. It smells of toilets. Probably because there are toilets to your right. You may stop for a bathroom break here.


Carry on through the corridor and you will get to the end that looks like this:


When you enter the Pea Soup Centre, some of the exhibition will be immediately to your right:


After you've had a look, carry on and turn right before the Neon Vomit desk:


Travel in an upwardly motion, utilising the companionway ahead of you:


Here's what it will look like when you're using the stairs:


Here you are at the top of the stairs. Turn right and you'll be able to see the little sign for Room 220 where the rest of the exhibition is being shown:


 Turn right and you will be able to see ... the dress. Dunh dunh DUNH!


























So, no excuses! I have written the Idiot's Guide to finding the 2012 and, indeed, the final "Inspired By..." collection, and if you don't see it, you're an idiot.

HAPPY TRAILS!
