New York Couture Auction
Doyle New York will hold another couture, textiles and accessories auction on April 20. They’ll have an online version of the auction catalog up soon, so keep checking, but in the meantime the auction description includes some nice highlights. Check out that 1815 redingote! Anyone want to pull our lunch money?
You can search or browse their catalog archive for other amazing costume items — if you’re browsing, look for the catalogs with “couture” in the title.
Real Women’s Clothing Directory
I’ve added about 100 new listings to the Real Women’s Clothing directory. As always, thanks to those of you who have sent me links that you’ve found.

Cross-posted from Jenny La Fleur’s livejournal: some lucky person got to see the Fashion in Film exhibit that is touring on the East Coast, and she took pictures. I love this person, whoever they are.
