Boxing a circle skirt is no easy task! To prevent excessive creasing and wrinkling which can weaken the fibers of the textile, rolls of tissue are inserted where the skirt must be folded to fit into the box. This creates a soft curve at the bend instead of a hard crease. 1950s Evening gown, 1986.60.1 Gift of Mrs. Albert Hutzler #1950s #1950sfashion #1950sdress #hutzlers #costumeconservation #vintage #vintagedress #vintagefashion #1950seveninggown #circleskirt #silk #chiffon
