CLASS - AC25 Bordering on French

AC25 Bordering on French 

This piece is inspired by the opulent borders worked by French embroiderers in the eighteenth century for court attire. Stunning borders in silk and Goldwork were embroidered both on ladies’ gowns and on men’s suits. The extravagant embroidery was so loved that in 1749 the English government passed laws to prevent the importation of the embroidery – either on finished garments or in pieces – to protect the English embroidery industry.

The piece has been designed so that it would neatly tuck into itself to become a repeating border if desired. It is embroidered in English gilt threads, French paillettes and using techniques of the period, the kit includes all materials required to work the design. Design Size: 14cm x 15cm.
