No sooner do I post that I have nothing to say, than I do: I'm conducting some research into the construction of Mariano Fortuny's pleated gowns. The Costume Institute at the Met in NYC has several with sleeves, which could hopefully answer some questions I have that the easier-to-find sleeveless versions can't.
However, searching the site I'm pressed to find any way to make appointments to view garments behind the scenes, what credentials/lead time, if any, or contact information for the curators (Harold Koda/Andrew Bolton). If anyone has any information to share about who to contact or what to expect, please let me know. I'm putting a special "attention" to Kathy Page if she's still reading because I remember she had a successful appointment a few years back. Thanks in advance, Allison T. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
