Collection of Six Hand Embroidered Twenties Dress Panels
£22.00
A very lovely collection of hand embroidered fashion samples from a ladies grandmother's collection who used to be a professional dressmaker. Dated around 1920 but could be older or a little earlier. The ground is a black silk crepe fabric, each are the same shape, maybe the corner panel to a collar..... The floral motifs have been embroidered separately first, possibly on a Cornelli machine and then hand stitched onto the base fabric sections.
Each measures 19cm in length and 17cm in width all measured at widest points.
