Though the article covers a later period.........
recent issue (Volume 33, no. 2) of the Journal of the Institute of Conservation
Paul Garside, Paul Wyeth and Xiaomei Zhang
"Understanding the ageing behaviour of nineteenth and twentieth
century tin-weighted silks"
>Dear All,
>
>My name is Daphne Reijs and I am a Textile conservation student at
>the University of Amsterdam.
>Because of my Graduation next year, I will soon start writing my
>graduation thesis, for wich I will be doing a conservation treatment
>on an 18th century silk, (metal) embroidered dress.
>The silk feels 'Crispy' and has broken on several places, especially
>under the arms and on folds.
>To determine what conservation treatment I will be doing, I am
>searching for as many information about conservation treatments
>previously done on silk, embroidered dresses. Searching the local
>conservation library or online archives has unfortunately not
>brought up much. Most of the articles I read where about 18th
>century dresses, but especially about the problems
>concerning painted dresses. A small amount of informafion can be
>found in those articles, but my dress is not painted, so its not
>really applicable.
>My question therefore is if anyone can help me by giving me titles
>about articles which could be handy? Or maybe someone even has
>conservation reports on treated silk dresses I can see?
>
>Thank you very much!!

>With Kind Regards,
