This link came to me through Costume Society of America. I think you'll find it interesting.

Also, if you're interested, CSA welcomes new members. Many members are museum curators or educators, but anyone can join that's interested in fashion. There are regional groups as well as the national.

This is fascinating in several ways! The dress and its maker's story are wonderful, and that this vote for top endangered artifacts brings attention and donations to the institutions. Brilliant idea!

Thank you for sharing!

Saavy way to advertise your collection and elicit donations for its restoration.

Beautiful garment and her story is fantastic. A subtle but momentous way in which to change views through fashion.....
