EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of fashion history - the Waistcoat, France, Embroidered 1780s; altered 1795-1805. Created by an unknown artist during the rococo era, this waistcoat is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design of eighteenth-century European clothing. The front of this waistcoat features a foundation made from silk satin weave, adorned with delicate embroidery using silk thread in satin steam and buttonhole stitches. The floral motifs are meticulously crafted with French knots, adding depth and texture to the overall design. The fabric-covered buttons further enhance its elegance. Originally embroidered in the 1780s, this waistcoat was later altered between 1795-1805 to adapt to changing fashion trends. Its timeless appeal and impeccable detailing make it a valuable artifact that reflects both French style and continental influences. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art gallery, this textile masterpiece offers visitors a glimpse into the rich heritage of art and costume from centuries past. The back linen plain weave provides additional insight into weaving techniques prevalent during that time period. As you admire this stunning creation through our photo print, take note of its fine twill lining made from silk twill weave - yet another example of meticulous attention to detail. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the skillful needlework involved in creating such an extraordinary garment. Let your imagination transport you back in time as you explore every patterned stitch on this exceptional waistcoat
