I'd like to find a dressmaker's form for photographing them. (Some
dress forms are astonishingly expensive!) The 1936 gown is too fragile
for me to try to wear. I wouldn't want to shatter the silk. And, I'm
not the same size I was fourteen years ago. Still small, but not as
small as people from that era.
