Fabrics - Use and Display

* Wearing heirloom clothing always introduces the risk of rips or stains. If you must wear it, avoid antiperspirants and makeup.

* Wear cotton gloves to handle heirloom fabrics. Move the fabrics on a support or in their boxes.

* Do not smoke, drink or eat near your garments. The fabric will absorb the smoke, and consequently the smell. Drips and crumbs will attract insects.

* Display fabrics flat or hung at an angle to reduce pull. When you bring your textiles out into the light, keep the light low and the occasion brief.
