Youth's
suit from 1700 in the V&A. |
 |
|
 |
This
is a suit in the V&A museum, made from brown shot
silk taffeta, which is less smooth as the finest taffeta,
this one here shows some small slubs. |
 |
The
waistcoat is elaborately brocaded. Those fabrics were
woven to shape, or, in case of embroidery, embroidered
before assembly. |
 |
Suit
from c. 1700, but the cuffs on the sleeves have been
radically altered at a later date to suit the new fashion.
Exhibited in the V&A museum. |
 |
Close-up
of the altered cuffs, it can still be detected how the
large and wide cuff might have looked like originally. |
