Subject: Period Clothing/Patterns
We are in the process of planning a rededication of the Taylor County
Courthouse for Sept. 2014, when the courthouse will be 100 years old.
We need resources for period clothing and patterns. Any suggestions of
where to borrow period clothing or websites for patterns? We would like
clothing to be from the era of 1914.
Do any other museums have clothing that they use for such an occasion that
they would be willing to lend us?
We are also considering holding a costume/clothing contest or having a
speaker that could talk about the clothing from 1914. Does anyone know of a
speaker or textile expert we could contact?
Thanks.
