Do you have a clear mission and collecting guide in your CMP that can guide you in making selections and allow you to be able to say ‘Thank you kindly, but.....’
On a personal note I think you can only take so many wedding dresses and cocktail dresses, some costume collections can get a little heavy in those areas and the more interesting day to day wear often gets over looked.

We have a nice collection of vintage clothing at our museum and recently we have had some people wanting to donate articles from the 1980s. Our concern is that once we take one piece of clothing from the 80s, where do we stop. I guess the big question is where do we start? I'm hoping someone out there has some good guidelines for taking "vintage" clothing. If you have guidelines/policy, I'd love to see it. You can send it to me off post if you like.
