Fantastic :) I'd also love to hear your thoughts on those mannequins.
We do not seem to have any of them here in NZ. Historic costume is still seen as frivolous and not NZ centric so tends to get displayed rarely. There are many lovely examples of 19thC dress here but they are not recognised as cultural objects.
