A pair of embroidered gloves belonging to King James I are among a collection of fashion items going on display In France and across the UK.
Fashion Museum Bath's collection, which also includes an embroidered court dress "designed at the dawn of Haute Couture", spans five centuries of fashion, dating back to the 16th Century.
While the museum is undergoing a major refurbishment, its garments can be seen in major exhibitions in Paris, London and Edinburgh.
"Each item has a unique story to tell, and it is a delight to match these pieces up with some of this year's most important exhibitions," said Elisabeth Murray, the museum's senior curator.
