Our costume collection contains over 30,000 garments and accessories reflecting the social, technological and economic changes affecting American dress from the 17th century to the present. Included are objects used in the manufacture of clothing as well as items related to the sale of clothing. Holdings include a large assortment of women’s clothing, some by influential 20th century designers, clothing of presidents and first ladies, wedding gowns, military uniforms and Halloween costumes.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
