In this talk Gabby will discuss selecting the Dress of the Year to be digitised, the different techniques and technologies she used from £20k hand held scanning devices to just your smartphone and the possible outcomes to help increase the accessibility and usability of the Fashion Museum Bath's 100,000 piece collection.
