There can be few outfits as fantasised and fretted over as the white wedding dress, and few that garner more public attention. The Victoria and Albert Museum has just opened an exhibition devoted to the fashionable and often famous items in its own collection, including iconic designs by the likes of Norman Hartnell, John Galliano and Vera Wang.
