*waves at Carrie*

We do indeed have costumes with taffeta as well as a few crazy quilts
made with taffeta.
I can pass on the question to Alden O'Brien, our quilt and costume
curator.  Are there any specific questions
you have?

You may want to contact the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)
museum in Washington, DC.  They are known for their quilt and clothing
collections and am sure one of their conservators could assist you.
