I had a gift card ;o)<br /><br />I can see the iron/steam technique to do the velvet but for some reason, the hot toast escapes me. One would think it would turn to crumbs before it got anything out.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-79020361535257840002011-01-28T15:33:55.299-05:002011-01-28T15:33:55.299-05:00Just discovered your blog and love it!

I wonder if it works equally for silk and cotton velvets and if it would work with today's synthetics...LorettaChasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641586650738945106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-41213273401161298822011-01-28T15:15:26.473-05:002011-01-28T15:15:26.473-05:00Student of Fashion, here's the description fro...Student of Fashion, here's the description from the Court Journal:<br />"OF plaid Swiss gingham, fastened down the side with bows of green riband. Collar of French lawn, trimmed with a Mechlin edging. A simple cap of worked lawn, with full double border of Mechlin lace, under which the hair is arranged in bands and tied with pink riband."<br />I'm not sure whether it's just this periodical in this particular year, but I have noticed that earlier ladies' magazines gave much longer, more detailed descriptions.LorettaChasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641586650738945106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-46447414339116461852011-01-28T13:33:17.422-05:002011-01-28T13:33:17.422-05:00I think I am going to have to acquire a velvet gar...I think I am going to have to acquire a velvet garment and drip some candlewax on it just so I can rub it with hot toast!Jane Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-22446140119457370202011-01-28T11:31:44.600-05:002011-01-28T11:31:44.600-05:00Adore the day gown!

From the description, is there any way to tell if the skirt is a coordinating striped fabric that matches the plaid used in the collar/bodice sleeves, or perhaps patchwork or maybe appliqued ribbons to achieve the effect? Fabulous use of pattern, whatever the technique.Student of Fashion Historynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-62633910627894493412011-01-28T03:54:31.055-05:002011-01-28T03:54:31.055-05:00This is so very interesting reading about how they...This is so very interesting reading about how they did things way been then and the different agents that they used.
