EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of attached pockets dating back to the 18th century. Crafted from a combination of cotton and silk, these pockets were an essential accessory in Georgian fashion. The intricate embroidery work on the fabric depicts a vibrant floral motif, with multi-colored flowers, leaves, and stems adorning the surface. The attention to detail is remarkable as each petal and stem is delicately embroidered, creating an ornate and ornamental design. The vertical arrangement of the flowers adds elegance to this decorative accessory. These attached pockets served both practical and fashionable purposes during their time. They provided additional storage space for women's personal belongings while also adding a touch of style to their outfits. The opening at the top allowed for easy access to these hidden compartments. The use of different colored silks further enhances the beauty of this textile masterpiece. The combination of cotton and silk materials ensures durability while maintaining a luxurious feel. Displayed at Fashion Museum Bath, this pair of attached pockets represents not only historical costume but also exquisite craftsmanship from centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even functional items can be transformed into works of art through skillful decoration and attention to detail.
