Preservation of some GWITW costumes

[Laura]

I was browsing Yahoo News tonight and came across this article from Wednesday:

Iconic 'Gone With the Wind' dress faded forever'

An interesting look at preservation of textiles!

Thank you - an interesting article.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY SPRAYED THEM WITH DISINFECTANT!!!

Of course they're going to be damaged after that - oh, well, I guess they live and learn. I'm sure the dresses will still be appreciated, fading and all.

Thats very interesting. Funny, I'd just mentioned the Gone With the Wind curtain dress in another thread.

I'm kind of surprised that they don't try to restore colour.
