Giving a garment attention
Children’s and adults’ clothing together give a broad view of what people wore. Look at fabric, seams and fastenings before you look at the whole. Such details give you starting points for asking about use and how something was worn.
From christening gown to hat
Christening gowns, corsets and hats show widely differing parts of a wardrobe. They need not all share the same background. So for a special piece, ask what is known about its origin and on what occasion it was worn.
The stairs are part of the planning
There is no lift to the museum space. That makes the visit unsuitable for wheelchair use and can also be a problem with limited mobility. Arrange the appointment and practical possibilities directly with the owner.
Before you go
Call or email for a current appointment; bear in mind the stairs and the absence of a lift.
