Conservation has been preparing custom mannequin forms for some newly added costumes in the exhibition David Bowie Is on view today through July 15, 2018. Each garment needs specialized support to prevent stress on the seamsduring display, while also showing the item as it was meant to be worn. The netting being added to the front of this mannequin will gently support the costume fabric from behind, adding volume and reducing folds at the center.Stop by the exhibition to see if you can figure out which costume this mannequin is being used to display.Posted by Erin Anderson -- source link
