Down in the basement: working in the costume and textile store

>Dc48

This image shows two of our conservators working on the costume collection down in the basement. Suzanne Chee and Sarah Pointon are in the costume and textile store trying to rehouse and improve the storage of our clothing and dress collection. This requires the conservators to wear gloves to protect the garments as they pad them out with acid free tissue.

This was a bit of fun Sotha had photographing Sarah and Suzanne during the shoot.
