So my daughter heard through the grapevine about there being a royal dress exhibit in one of the palaces in England / London. Of course she is not able to get the name of the location of this exhibit and I am not able to find anything when I Google online. Would anyone happen to know what she is speaking of and where it is? Ha! Thank you!!!

I think there was one at Kensington palace but it seems to be over. Now they just have princess Diana's. The V&A has some nice costume/clothing displays.

Grapevine is a bit out of date.
There was one at Kensington Palace in 2017.
As noted the V & A Museum is known for its fashion collections. https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/fashion

A ball gown worn by Queen Victoria is the centrepiece of the exhibits this year at Buckingham Palace, as it is shown in all the promotional info. Mind you it isn't clear if there are any more clothes in this.

I greatly enjoyed the "Fashioning A Reign" exhibition marking Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday when visiting Windsor Castle September 2016 featuring "... magnificent evening gowns and elegant day ensembles worn at official events ...". The spanning 5 centuries fashion collection at Victoria & Albert Museum is fabulous and would be spot on to thrill any manner of threadhead during a London visit, I say don't miss it.
