Party, Ball, and Wedding Dress Swap Meet

Looking for something new?

Do you have any party, cocktail, ball, or wedding clothes hanging in your closet that you haven’t worn for some time (maybe decades)? Are you looking for some vintage costume to wear at the next party, ball season, or wedding?

We invite you to swap outfits in the wonderful setting of the MAK Columned Main Hall, accompanied by jazz, coffee, and prosecco. 
 
Instructions for the Dress Swap
 
Festive clothes brought in can optionally be provided with a personalised label on the history of the piece and will be exchanged for a coupon corresponding to the estimated value category of the piece. This coupon can then be exchanged for a garment in the same category.
