X-radiography of textile objects reveals hidden features as well as
unexpected components and materials. This non-destructive technique
throws light on construction, manufacturing techniques, use, wear,
repair, patterns of decay and dating. X-radiography improves
artefact documentation and interpretation as well as guiding
conservation approaches by enhancing understanding. This book
explores techniques for X-raying textiles. It describes approaches
to image interpretation and explains how, through digitisation and
digital image manipulation, maximum information can be realised.
Case studies include archaeological, ecclesiastical and
ethnographic textiles, items of dress and accessories, upholstery,
quilts, embroideries, dolls and toys. Museum professionals will

Recognizing this process as a dynamic interaction of investigation,
interpretation, intervention, re-creation, and display,
Refashioning and Redress: Conserving and Displaying Dress examines
the ways in which these seemingly static exhibitions of "costume"
or "fashion" are actively engaged in cultural production. The
seventeen case studies included here reflect a broad range of
practice and are presented by conservators, curators, makers, and
researchers from around the world, exposing changing approaches and
actions at different times and in different places. Ranging from
the practical to the conceptual, these contributions demonstrate
the material, social, and philosophical interactions inherent in
the conservation and display of dress and draw upon diverse
disciplines ranging from dress history to social history, material
cultural studies to fashion studies, and conservation to museology.
Case studies include fashion as spectacle in the museum, dress as
political and personal memorialization, and theatrical dress, as
well as dress from living indigenous cultures, dress in fragments,
and dress online.
