Stunning three piece suit from about 1810. In remarkable condition. With the detailed embroidery and bobbin lace trim, this would have been extremely expensive.
It really is!
Tagging @MarcoJustMarco because this reminds me of his work :)
@Minholkin @tyghebright
OMG! Thanks for the tag. That is gorgeous!
@Minholkin @tyghebright
I guess you could say that. 😊
L- work in progress
R- Last year's big event.
@MarcoJustMarco @Minholkin @tyghebright
Hey Marco—haven’t seen you in a long time.
@Minholkin @LnzyHou @tyghebright
It's my happy place. 💕
@LnzyHou Hey Lindsay, Yeah, I know. Been so busy, but good news is, just changed jobs, so I'll have more free time. And hopefully this will allow me to finish all my silly project and be more visible here. How's everything going in your neck of the woods?
@LnzyHou it's a ballgown overskirt. There is a pair of blue breeches underneath. I need to take better pics. Maybe later today.
Please, please, please 💫
@LnzyHou
It's been storming on and off all day, so no outdoor photos.
High waisted breeches. Still working on closures, etc.
Oh, that last one I just unearthed from the bottom of the project pile. lol
@tyghebright
That is absolutely stunning. Can you imagine how long it must have taken to do the embroidery?? 😳
@tyghebright the embroidery is stunning! ❤️
oh my GOD that freaking beautiful detail, that is just amazing as well that it’s so old!! @tyghebright
I'm occasionally amused to remember that "Sans Culottes" amounted to being "anti-Fancy Pants".
@tyghebright wow! It's still in amazing condition!
