Or knows anyone who would be?

Great grandmother's dresses. Some of them went to a museum. The rest are not museum quality but still of interest. I'm looking for a good home. Can supply pics.

Tia.

Wow, would love to see the pictures.

Oogie · 14/08/2018 16:14

Would love to see pictures too!! I’ve always been fascinated by things like this

whatifI · 14/08/2018 16:15

Know someone who would love these for dressing up as Victorians in school 😀
Any photos? And the price?

Karigan198 · 14/08/2018 16:16

Are you on Facebook? If so look for reenactor trade and sale. Loads of people there who would be interested

alligatorsmile · 14/08/2018 16:16

I could probably get a Victorian lady's dress round one leg, but would LOVE to see them.

Chocrock · 14/08/2018 16:18

I'm interested in Victorian clothing, can you post or PM photo's Smile

CocteauTwins · 14/08/2018 16:19

Please post pictures Smile

gendercritter · 14/08/2018 16:20

Depending on the quality, these would sell very well on ebay.

MrsMotherHen · 14/08/2018 16:22

oh wow pictures please.

SinkGirl · 14/08/2018 16:22

Would love to see them too

dontforgetbilly · 14/08/2018 16:24

Ooh yes pics please!
What do you mean by not museum quality? Would they maybe be of interest to a working museum like Beamish?

Thanks for the responses!

I don't have time or patience to sell them on ebay, and they're very small sizes. They're going free to a good home/s.

Will attach pics.

I'd contact a working museum. And be very jealous of where they end up.

KlutzyDraconequus · 14/08/2018 16:30

eBay or even maybe Etsy?

MipMipMip · 14/08/2018 16:33

You might be able to sell them as a job lot to a costumers. They'll have someone who can do repairs in house
Spot them on the BBC!

NotAQueef · 14/08/2018 16:35

Ooh would love to see pics too

Stressedout10 · 14/08/2018 16:35

Hi if love them and would give them a good home pm me if you're interested

afatalflaw · 14/08/2018 16:36

I would definitely love them, I collect loads of random old items and have been looking for some old clothing (not to wear just because I love old things). You could probably sell on eBay though so don't so yourself out of the cash!

Vitalogy · 14/08/2018 16:37

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

SchrodingersMeowth · 14/08/2018 16:38

So sad I’m so late to the thread :(. If it falls through with everyone else (ha! As if!) then I would be really interested to see one please!

Tbh I want to see them anyway regardless as I’m fascinated.

Also quite a small person... Smile

MsHopey · 14/08/2018 16:39

I'd love to see pics also.
I love victorian fashion.

Wow Shock

MsHopey · 14/08/2018 16:40

Not a small person here. So sadly would be wasted on my fat frame.

SchrodingersMeowth · 14/08/2018 16:41

The one in the third picture is stunning!
