mourning of things not yet lost

If the human skeleton is the foundation of the human anatomy, the beam that holds everything up. What is the equivalent of a skeleton for garments? Fossils and bones can still be used to identify beings millions of years later... How much can be removed for it to still read as a garment... Barely one still, but still speak as one.
each thread is carefully removed by hand by myself. This was an accumulation of time, life, death; of everything.
