1966-67 "Souper" Dress

Museum at FIT

New York, NY

2023

Treatment performed for exhibition in Food and Fashion

The tears and areas of loss to the paper of the dress at the bust darts and shoulders required adhesive stabilization. I made overlays of very fine paper toned to the required red or cream/yellow, and painted it with Jacquard Textile Paints to imitate and overlap the original print. The overlays were adhered with Lascaux Acrylic Adhesive effectively stabilizing those areas.
