Any readers excited by Robert's report should visit On Stage in Fashion, an exhibition collaboration of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and the Museum of the City of New York, at LPA. The clothing is beautiful and beautifully constructed. You can see real bound buttonholes and amazing beading. When you visit, look out for the Look Closely! captions, which point out sewing details.
