Nevada State Museum's Marjorie Russell Clothing and Textile Research Center, helps design and set up a one-day exhibition of fashion and clothing.
The theme for this year's event is 'Dressed in White: Inside and Out' and features clothing based around the most basic color on the palette.
White clothes and a barbecue are usually not a good idea but white has long been used as a symbol of purity, virginity, innocence, cleanliness, status and power.
It has been associated with cultural ceremonies and rites of passage and also with the wearer's age and time of year.
Exhibit includes wedding, baptismal and graduation dresses, men's suits and jackets, women's undergarments and uniforms.
Two of the jewels of the exhibit were wedding dresses from the period 1908 to 1970s.
