The effective preparation of garments for display is essential for
exhibitions of contemporary and historical dress. Costumes not only
need to be visually appealing but also fully supported and
historically accurate. This book provides a comprehensive guide to
mounting costumes from the eighteenth century to the present day.
It includes methods for adapting and shaping figures to create
historical silhouettes, constructing underpinnings and making
replicas and toiles using inexpensive and simple techniques. A
Practical Guide to Costume Mounting is an invaluable resource for
conservators, historians and all those working with clothing in
museums, private collections and throughout the fashion and theatre
industries. Trained as a historical costume maker, author Lara
Flecker is the textile display specialist at London's Victoria and
Albert Museum. She has worked extensively with the museum's
world-class costume collection, preparing garments for display. Her
simple mounting methods are clearly explained and can be used by
people with a wide range of experience, including those with few
sewing skills.
