Interesting....I just found some 1920’s dresses that were in my mother in laws trunk...trying to figure out what to do with them.
Sadly, probably nothing. My sister has a dress from the 1700s (family heirloom), in really good condition. She tried to donate it to some museums and none wanted it. Apparently, all already have too many. Interestingly, the opposite is true of men's clothes. According to one curator, women wear for fashion, so when a dress goes out of style, the old clothes get put away. Men just wear their clothes out.

You would think that some Hollywood wardrobe department would want them, if only as templates for what 1920’s period fashion looked like.
