The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, home to a notable collection of historical fashions, is giving the clothing a chance to do what it was made to do: circulate in public. A sampling from that collection will be on view when the museum's Lynda and Stewart Resnick Exhibition Pavilion opens Oct. 2. Among the dazzlers of "Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail 1700-1915" is this dress from about 1845. It belonged to Queen Maria II of Portugal.
