I intend to edit this page by adding more sections and in-depth information on fashion museums, like the purpose and history, different categories of fashion exhibits and a list of notable fashion museums. -Lmeyler02 (talk) 17:11, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lily! I think this is a really interesting article and you already have good information. In terms of things to add, I would just give more examples of each museum type. Listing out a few real-life examples as well as adding more image examples so readers can see the visuals. I also think it would be interesting to add a section on the conservation efforts of these museums for the "notable" aspect of the perfect article. The Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a very famous example of fashion museum conservation that might be interesting to add and link the article to. The original Met Gala article doesn't really have too much on that aspect. - Kbill98 (talk) 17:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lily, super interesting article! As Katie mentioned above, I think that your knowledge of this topic really stands out, and where I see the most room for improvement would be not so much in the content but rather in the organization. Especially with the "Types of Fashion Exhibits" section, I think that you could group this information more as a list than as several individual subsections. The effect of having too many sections is the impression of having to sort through an overwhelming amount of information, which may get exhausting for a reader - maybe reducing the appearance of size of your list could help lessen this effect. Since most of the descriptions you provide for these subsections are already only one or two sentences in length, I think this would be quite an easy change to incorporate. I also agree with Lily that adding more images would definitely be a plus, especially for a topic as visual as this one. In the "History" section, I would also add the date of the periods in brackets next to the title of the section - e.g. "The Second Period (1960's-1990's). A helpful way to look at these changes I'm talking about might be to ask the question - "what information should a person skimming this article come away knowing?"Tiarawearer (talk) 02:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HI Lily! Your article is great! In the Purpose of Fashion Museums section, it might be a good idea to define slow marketing or provide a link to something similar. In the last paragraph of this section it could be interesting to provide an example of how clothes can reveal the imperfections caused by the wearer because I’m not really sure what this could look like. Overall, great job with this piece! Very informative and clear :) Lvogel1 (talk) 11:41, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
