Today, our fashion collection team is visiting fashionarchivessu to learn conservation techniques! Scroll through to check out wool backing and sheer muslin darning. These techniques are used to not only improve the appearance of the textiles but to give them structural support so that (one day) they may be displayed!! Thank you to the archives for sharing your knowledge and textiles with us! #fashionhistory #fashioncollection #textileconservation #costumeconservation #darning #19thcenturyfashion
