I'm sure you remember this fabulous dress Maggie modeled several months ago. I posted her photos for my Facebook group--Sewfari Divas. The fabric is woven, not a burn out. One member looked it up and found this video which I think you'll enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81U9NJcp4qQ Yes, everyone has enjoyed the dress. x
Thank you for sharing that, Claire. I had only heard of this velvet mentioned in old books, but had idea how intensive the work is, or how it was actually done. I loved seeing all the tools involved.
It could also be a burn-out or devore'. Here are two photos of a 1860 Worth dress. It is cloth of silver with cut and uncut velvet. This is an old picture of the dress. I don't have a good photo of the dress, but I do have more details.
I had this evening gown which I sold which was made of the most amazing fabric. I have never had silk before that looked or felt like it.
