Convention in San Antonio?

[Tessa]

A few months ago I think that I came across on the Internet an organization devoted to historical clothing that was having its annual convention in March 2015 in San Antonio. But now I do not remember what the organization was and can find no reference to it. Does anyone know what organization I am referring to?

This? --> 2015 annual meeting of the Costume Society of America (to be held in San Antonio from May 27-30, 2015)

Yes, that's it! Thank you so much.

Nice. Does this come with opportunity to purchase vintage clothing at the meeting?
Thanks.
Open to the public with seminars to learn more about vintage clothing?
Thanks. Sandy

There is usually a marketplace, but it is mainly books. Several years ago I bought some very nice 1918-1920 sewing pattern magazines. There is also a silent auction which is also mainly books, but there are always a few vintage clothing pieces.

The seminars are open to non-members, but there is a charge. The program has not yet been announced. http://costumesocietyamerica.com/natsym.htm
