Our historic collection team has interrupted its usual work to help mount star pieces for ‘Costume Couture -Sixty Years of Cosprop’ at the Fashion and Textile Museum’ #costumecouture #fashionandtextilemuseum #costumemounting #filmcostume #fashionexhibition #costumeexhibition #costumedesign

In their free time, our assistant curators Sage & Annie have come up with an exciting project. Follow them and their collaborators on instagram at @uncovering.dressmakers to learn more! #19thcenturydressmaking #whomademyclothes #historyofdress #historyoffashion #victorianfashion #vintagelabels

We just photographed our green 1860s-70s dresses that will be tested for arsenic and stored separately if they contain any. Having them all mounted just looked too great to not be shared! #arsenicgreen #toxicdyes #fashionvictims #historyoffashion #toxicfashion #scheelesgreen #victoriandress
