Please note the museum guidelines :

Fashion and textiles are particularly fragile objects.
To protect them, light levels are kept low and the following are not permitted in the Museum:

• Pens or markers: Sketching in the galleries is permitted only with pencil.

Non-commercial still photography for personal use is now permitted in designated galleries. Flash, tripods, and selfie sticks are not permitted. At times photography may be prohibited in certain galleries or of specific objects due to lender’s restrictions.
