On April 19th, 2017, Museum Textile Services staff made the trip to Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, for the opening of "Threads of Change: Clothing and Identity in the North" at the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum. Included in the exhibit are twelve of our Andover Figures® manikins, which were skillfully padded out and arranged by the museum's collections staff. ![]() Left to right: Pencil skirt by Peter Kawogaelg Williams, Sitka, Alaska, 2015.

I am so pleased to have found your website as I am the great granddaughter of Gladys Mesher. Our family still has the first coat she made. The appreciation you have given my great grandmother is greatly valued by our entire family. She owned the Labrador Shop in Toronto in the 1980's. If you have any historical information about Gladys Mesher our family would deeply appreciate it.
