Does anyone know a mail order source for straight wood hangers? I like the
one straight bar wood hanger so I can cut it down to make padded hangers
to fit older dresses and blouses. Wood hangers are harder to find these
days. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Also, do most of you make padded dress forms for display of costumes? Or
buy them? We do use older dept. store mannequins, but they don't really
work for the 19th century clothing. We don't have a budget to purchase
expensive mannequins, unfortunately, but ideas would be welcome.
