Woman's gown made of brocaded satin in gold thread, Iraq, ca. 1870

Item specificsCondition

A rather simple one, this is just a bodice and a skirt. The most difficult part of this one was making the box-pleated trim. I don't use any special machine attachment to do ruffling or pleating. I do it all by hand with a lot of pins and a lot of math ;)
