🇫🇮 ✂️ HELLO SISTERS! AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, SCULPTURE IS A TACTILE ART. WELL, THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT ART, BUT ALSO TACTILE AND MADE WITH AN EXQUISITE ELABORATION. SO TODAY, LISA IS THE GREAT ARTIST.
One of my biggest treasures is a lace petticoat of my grandmother’s. It has sumptuous Chantilly lace inserts, an embroidered monogram with her initials and is absolutely beautifully hand sewn. I renewed my old silk nightgown (which somehow had shrunk in the cupboard) by adding a tatted lace edging to the neckline and copying the embroidered monogram. My daughter is named after my grandmother and happens to have the same initials so the nightie will end up in her wardrobe. As for the petticoat it’s part of my future museum collection 😉
The old petticoat comes down to the knee and drapes beautifully as it’s cut on the bias except for the top front where the lace inserts are. The colour is a very light beige to match the luxurious lace.
