Another week of #advent and I share this rich red silk German 1828 court dress with gold embroidery around the hem, bodice and puffed gigot sleeves. Imagine how the embroidery would have reflected and looked in candlelight. 🕯 @metmuseum

This is part of a woman’s loose gown, made in the early 17thC of Italian cut & uncut mulberry-coloured velvet in a pattern of pomegranates & gillyflowers. It features a style of sleeves known as ‘hanging’ & was once decorated with two different types of silver lace. (V&A)
