Fabric Museum within the Mallory-Neely Mansion

We toured the Mallory-Neely Mansion in Memphis, TN. It has a large collection of old clothing and fabrics stored in a separate room but the expert wasn't around to discuss inventory. Still, I love that someone is doing that.

Some of the clothing in the collection gets displayed on mannequins, apparently on a rotating basis.  One of the staff went by carrying vintage under garments for some display or talk she was giving, though I can't find any reference to it or the collection on-line.

This old Wilcox & Gibbs sewing machine has personality. It is not original to the house but in keeping with the period.
