 DON'T SELL THOSE QLD_CLOTHES AT GARAGE SALES
The "Betty D. Eastin Historical Costume Collection" located in
Erikson 305 began in 1968 with donations from the Waverly Museum.
In 1974, it became an established collection named for Mrs. Eastin,
a former U. K. textiles professor who is now deceased.
{ The collection has grown rapidly and now includes around 1,000
b items of clothing and textile artifacts: men‘s, women‘s and children*s
along with accessories — shoes, hats, fans, combs, and costume jewelry.
Some items date back to the l890's. There are also some dress patterns
dating from the '20's through the '50's. Although most contributors are
local residents, some of the items have been donated by the Smithsonian In-
stitution of Washington, D. C. and the Metropolitan Museum of Art of
New York City.
Dr. Laura Szekely, a professor of textiles, also serves as the
curator. Margaret Rogers and Betty King, graduate students, are
part—time assistants.
The collection's focus is on items that have influenced American
history with emphasis on Kentucky history. They are now trying to fill
in gaps for specific periods especially in men and children's attire.
Among the catalogued items are the inaugural gowns of Mrs. A. B.
Chandler and Mrs. Louis Nunn, a pair of Bess Myerson's Bermuda shorts,
and a "madam's" dress, flashy pink and full of lace, formerly worn by
Belle Breazing.
Students in textiles use the collection for design sketching of
20th Century fashions, for reproduction of garments, and it has served
as an inspiration for graduate research. At present, a research
proposal is in progress to be used for developing guidelines to
classify hats by their periods and dates.
Efforts have been made for climatic control of the small room.
Shields have been placed over the lights and windows; dehumidifiers
have been added; acid—free tissue paper and plastic hangers are used.
Catalog tags are attached with linen thread. No renovation or
rejuvenation is attempted, due to lack of expertise.
The crowded conditions and the shortage of full—time personnel
prevent the collection from being open to the public. However, visitors
are welcome on Monday and Wednesday by appointment only.
Similar costume collections are`at the Filson Club and Western
University. A system has been devised for the cataloging and regis-
tration of the collection. The data for each item includes an assigned
number, denoting the year of the gift, the donation number and item
within the donation, date of the period of the item, donor, date received,
description and condition of the item. There are cross-references to
donor and category of each gift.
Margaret is sketching one of the 1930 gowns which she will reproduce
for her wedding dress in December.
It is interesting to see the fashions of yesterday that are re—appearing
on the market today - pointed—toe shoes, disco styles, "flapper" attire
of the '20's,which proves that anything kept long enough will come back
in style.
