November has been full of wonderful new experiences at my internship.
I have learned how to do a number of things from hanging a picture at proper eye-level to packing historic clothing for safe storage. Packing clothing has quickly become my favorite; I am very into fashion in general, so it is super cool to be able to see and handle some beautiful old pieces in the collection. Ranging from the 1880s to the 1980s, I was able to see a very wide range of clothing that allowed me to understand period styles as well as admire how clothes were put together across different decades.
My favorite piece from the clothing I packaged was a very pretty floral-patterned dress from the 1950s. Normally the 1980s would be more my style, but something about this dress was so pretty and light that I had to get a good picture of it to admire 🙂
