Hi Garet,
I would look at newspaper ads from department stores. Check newspapers
on microforms in your local library or archives.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Vintage Clothing Question
Good afternoon, everyone,
We are developing an exhibit celebrating the 50th anniversary of the
Tennessee sit-in movement, and I am trying to locate something for our
textile curator. She is looking for the 1960 prices for a variety of
clothing articles as part of a department store exhibit space.
I am unsure where to start. I tried internet searches, but most of
these searches yielded vintage clothing for sale with current market
prices. I have found one site, but she is specifically looking for
prices for the following types of clothing:
A woman's fancy hat
A bride's dress
A child's bridesmaid dress
A fox stole
A black wool suit
If you can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!
Garet
