Two dresses dating from the 1920s came to OTC to stabilize damage and prepare for display.  The flowered dress had a vulnerable tear in the front of the skirt that was repaired with a custom-dyed underlay and stitching.  The green dress had damage from perspiration, causing the edge of the armhole to tear away.  It was repaired with custom-dyed patches to support and enclose the weak, damaged area.
