I know a number of us have contacted museums for private behind the
scenes visits in pursuit of our historic costume research. I also know
some of us work at museums, with costume collections.
At the request of the Center for the Future of Museums, I wrote a blog
post about my experiences
Margo,
Do what I've seen happen-- if your ruffles are long, and your fabric
thin silk (probable, for the year!), cut them twice as wide and press
a lengthwise fold in it-- then baste edges together and treat as ONE
ruffle. El cheato perhaps, but I've seen it done on period garments.
