"Form" sounds pretty good. I like that. In a little more detail, these are made of cardboard or stiff interfacing and go inside a hood to keep it upright while it is being worn. _________________________________ Janis Wilkens Registrar Levine Museum of the New South 200 E.

I would call it a "form", even if it dosn't compeletely fill the piece. The category/sub-category depends on what it was ment to do. If it were for when the clothing was being produced, I would put it in a "tools and equipment" category and "Textileworking" sub-category, if it were for displaying a piece of clothing, I might put it in a "communication" category and "accessory" or "display" sub-category.
