There is an event on at Highwic house this weekend (does it annoy anyone else that there isn’t a “k” in that?) that may interest any historical costume buffs. historicplaces.org.nz/en/eve … _7Oct.aspx
It says you can “Explore the history of costume and textiles with guest curator Angela Lassig. Bring your costume treasures for dating and conservation advice.”
There is also the Auckland Vintage Textile Fair on at Alexndra Park - "A once-a -year destination for all things genuine vintage textile: furs, frocks, fabrics, linen, hats, haberdashery, handbags and shoes!"

Neither are free but won’t break the bank either
