#TheVictorianBookoftheDead This elegant silk cape, with its neo-Jacobean cutwork and black beadwork roses, dates from the 1890s. The matte black silk could suggest either luxe half-mourning or fashionable evening wear.

I promenaded for over half a mile this morning! Granted it was pouring with rain and Dartmoor was swathed in mist so it was not an elegant Edwardian stroll such as this early #1900s dress might have experienced but the new hip was fantastic! @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Being able to sew is good. I love the leafy, sophisticated, and feminine cutwork-over-lace look of this top, but those ridonkulous first-day-of-kindergarten puffed-cap-sleeves HAD to go. So I saw to that. Details in ALT text

What is...Cutwork? Cutwork describes any form of embroidery based on a woven ground from which sections have been cut away and the raw edges are stitched with various embroidery stitches to define or embellish them. #vintagefashion

For my fifth assignment, I was to focus on value and texture. I took inspiration from Moroccan tiles to create this piece, combining cutwork, couching, lattice work, and silk satin stitching.

Okay, tonight's inventory selection.
Today's feature is a solid sterling silver cuff [shown below], no stone, but ajouré cutwork.
We have aother cuff, featured recently, that is similar in size a spirit, but with a focal cabochon that's timeless, too.
