Might be worth dropping a note to Bath Fashion Museum

If you explain what if is you're doing they might be able to help out or point you in the right direction.

Or Hampton Court Palace have a specialist team. Most big National Trust places will have a deficated conservation team, if there's one near you it might be worth trying that route - particularly the latter as they might have a conservation team volunteer who'd be able to spare you some time to help.

Deffo try the fashion museum as they were helpful to my wife when she was restoring a vintage wedding dress. and apologies if this is all stating the obvious...
