Now, my questions are, am I correct in my understanding that vintage clothes should be displayed flat, and not to clean them (We've got the whole - no UV thing covered already)?
And is there anything I'm not thinking about? Marc ============================== My only experience with this is a small local museum but they regularly vacuum their costume pieces, which are stored flat in acid-free tissue and boxes. For display, they are mounted on padded maneguins or forms, occasionally laid across a bed or something like that. A lot of the choice on how to display depended on the condition of the garment. They try to rotate their displays several times a year but that depends on staff/volunteer availability. Good luck :).
