You may enjoy viewing a video of the process of photographing historic costumes using X-ray equipment at the Victoria and Albert Museum. This will be of interest to those interested in Photography - Conservation/Restoration - Lace/Costume Identification - Authentic Costuming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p-2aDOj-54 Back when they were published by the Victoria and Albert, we wrote about the 2-volume set of books titled Seventeenth-Century Women's Patterns, edited by Susan North and Jenny Tiramani. Book 1 in 2011; Book 2 in 2012. This is where we learned that ghostly X-ray images reveal much that we never knew about the construction of complex garments of the past. Lace is often an important element of fashion items, and you will find the presentation gloves to be of particular interest, and how about that contemporary jacket constructed of hair pins? Like?
