Most women who haven't been married don't have a wedding dress hanging in their wardrobe - but Rose Jackson has more than 35 of them.
A passionate collector of all kinds of vintage clothing, Jackson says she started collecting wedding pieces a decade ago.
"I have a garage full of vintage clothing and accessories ranging from Victorian to 1980s that I have collected over the past 20 years both in New Zealand and overseas - the wedding dresses are one part of my collection.
"I've dug up vintage wedding dresses in op shops in Napier, the Avondale markets, I got an amazing matching 1940s dress and bolero for half price on K' Rd one day.
"Part of the process of staging the exhibition (opening May 14 at Auckland's historic Highwic House) has been me trying to explain to myself that just because I own 35-plus wedding dresses and I've never been engaged let alone married, it doesn't make me some deranged marriage-obsessed crazy lady.
"I take some comfort in the fact that the wedding dresses are one of the smaller collections I have!"
Jackson says her love for vintage clothing and textiles is part genetic, part environmental.
"I come from a long line of crafty women. My grandmother owned the local haberdashery store in Whangarei for years, one of my aunties was a school home economics sewing teacher and my mother used to make some of my clothes and bits and pieces to sell at the Avondale markets when I was little to bring in extra money. I started sewing by hand when I was young and still have a tin full of dolls clothes and handmade mini hangers that I treasure."
The ethical and environmental side of things came later, living in the UK.
