Our first task with this project is to choose which objects from the collection we will reproduce.
Our criteria for selection are:
attractive on a larger figure
involves construction that is neither too complicated to be difficult nor too simple to be boring
fills in a period of history that is currently not well represented in our collection of reproductions
attractive to a modern, young eye
not too fragile to be handled for the patterning process
creates a silhouette that is different from our current silhouette, with shaping undergarments
The final selections will be made by Holly Hummel and Arden Kirkland, but we have consulted with some of our students for a perspective closer to that of the students who will take part in the activity. Thank you to Lydia Palmiotti, a high school student from Poughkeepsie, who has volunteered with this project, and looked through the entire database of our collection to help with the selection process.
