  DRESS FOR SUCCESS - [Cached Version]

  Exhibit curator Susan Webster hasn't left out much, including the long johns Hammersley wore under his uniform, probably to ease itching.
  
  She also has Hammersley's cap.Like baseball headgear of his era, it's rounded with a tiny brim.
  
  Jersey collars disappeared by about 1920.Other changes followed, but some old features remain.Players still wear knickers with long socks, although Webster says knickers lengths have risen and fallen repeatedly.
  
  Players still wear belts, but not as exposed as in the early 1900s.First, second and third basemen grabbed belts to keep runners from advancing.
  
  "One batter loosened his belt at the plate," Webster said, "hit the ball and arrived on second base with the first baseman holding his belt."
  ...
  "Uniforms have come back to a more traditional look," Webster said.

  The sculpture, which was unveiled during the opening of the Caldwell Park Interpretive Center in 2007, was created with only one picture available, but key information was made available from the research of Gary Brown, and clothing and hair information by Susan Webster of the Greensboro Historical Museum.

  Greensboro museum prepares for a Dolley restoration -... - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 5/4/2002    Last Visited: 5/4/2002  

  Susan Webster, the Greensboro museum's textiles curator, says old garments rank as any museum's biggest challenge.Exposure and age make them fragile.Stabilization is essential.
  
  It's costly, but consider this: The Dolley Madison collection, which numbers more than 140 items, didn't cost the museum a penny.
  
  In 1960, a group of Greensboro people learned that Dolley Madison's belongings had been discovered in a run-down, varmint-filled house formerly occupied by a descendant of the Madisons.
  
  ...
  "I feel this is the one she had on, if not one very similar," Webster says.
  
  Nearby, a dress that looks its age, 200 years, has been placed in a box made specially for it.Little of the original peach color remains.Dark splotches also discolor the fabric.Did the impeccable Dolley spill coffee while exchanging pleasantries with ambassadors, statesmen and other pooh-bahs?
  
  "English tea, perhaps," museum director Bill Moore quips.
  ...
  Webster blames the stains on deterioration.The museum has had to retire the gown and several other Dolley duds from public viewing because light and handling hasten decay.
  ...
  Later this spring, Webster will drive the gown and silk cap to Williamsburg and leave them with Finkelstein.
