Description

For the wealthy, the eighteenth century was a period of decadent splendour, and their clothing was no exception. Gail Marsh, a costume and textiles curator and senior lecturer in fashion and textiles, has delved into archives to research the techniques and tools that embroiderers of the day used to create bewitching items of clothing.
