You might consider buying this book A Practical Guide to Costume Mounting
(Paperback) By Lara Flecker ISBN 9780750668309
If you want them to be best presented then you may find making your own
mounts well worth the while. The silhouette is markedly different for a 200
year old dress than a 21st
in a vase and thats what they look like -
someone else might do the same but it looks like a gorgeous display.
Like also wearing a scarf or doing the hair - some have the 'knack'. I
seem to have lost out in that department.

Maybe you
Maybe you should consider contacting the University of Canberra. They have
a cultural heritage unit that deals with museum studies and has
conservators. They might be in a position to advise you.
You are in the Nations Capital, with so many cultural institutions such as
the National Gallery of
217 days to go ...

I'd have to agree with hat Aspasia said. Been the best way for me over the
years.
