Storing Antique Clothing?

I have 2 large boxes of antique dresses. They aren't supposed to get really hot or the fabric weakens. Can I wrap insulation around the boxes and then store them out of the way on a high shelf that gets hot? Will the insulation keep them cooler than the hot air around them?

I would say no. Insulation just buys time before something gets as hot or cold as the air around it.

No, the insulation will not keep them cool in a hot place. Could you store them in a basement? Of course, I am sure you don't want them to get damp, either.

Perhaps you could store them in space bags - the ones you vacuum the air out of, and then they wouldn't get damp or musty if they were stored in a basement.
