The People's Archive of Costume
An entirely online, open access museum which can be added to by anyone who owns a piece of antique or vintage clothing. Items don't need to have been the height of fashion, of the best quality, or in great condition — in fact if it's seen better days so we can peep through the hole in the lining and see how it was made, then more's the better!
