Where to donate high end vintage clothing/wedding gown

[Anonymous]

We inherited a number of well preserved late 1950s/early 1960s pieces, including a ball gown and beautiful and well preserved wedding gown, l from my MIL. She worked in the original Dallas Neiman Marcus trophy room which featured the pieces hand selected by Mr. Marcus. All in excellent condition. Not looking to make a lot of money with them - just trying to find a place that would like to have them. Somebody suggested a Theatre Costume rental place but not sure if that really makes sense. I’m wondering if there are any consignment shops that would want pieces this old? Ideas?

They sound gorgeous.
If only you could find a (broke/thrifty) fashionista in that size who would love to own and wear all that. Thinking of someone like Parker Posey in Party Girl.

Let us know where they ended up.

If the place has a social media presence, we'd love to see them when they are posted.
