La Mode illustrée, no. 33, 13 août 1899, Paris. Toilette de réunions pour jeune dame. Modèle de Mlle Louise Piret, rue Richer, 43. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

Cette toilette en gros tulle noir, posé sur du taffetas lilas clair, est ornée d'applications brodées en taffetas noir; mais on peut remplacer cette garniture très difficile à exécuter par des applications toutes faites en dentelle, soit séparées, soit brodées sur tulle illusion: dans le dernier cas on découpe les applications et on les fixe sur l'étoffe de la robe. Sur notre modèle, les applications entourent le bord inférieur de la jupe et remontent en se rétrécissant sur les coutures des devants; les manches demi-longues, ornées de volants de dentelle, ainsi que le côté gauche du devant de la jupe, sont entièrement garnis d'applications de taffetas. Le corsage de tulle, décolleté en pointes devant et derrière, est garni de revers arrondis en taffetas recouvert de tulle brodé d'applications. L'ouverture est comblée par une chemisette en mousseline de soie mauve plissée, ornée d'une longue cravate semblable retenue par des liens.

This dress in coarse black tulle, placed on light lilac taffeta, is adorned with appliqués embroidered in black taffeta; but one can replace this trimming, which is very difficult to execute, by ready-made applications in lace, either separate or embroidered on illusion tulle: in the latter case, the applications are cut out and attached to the fabric of the dress. On our model, the applications surround the lower edge of the skirt and go up while narrowing on the seams of the fronts; the half-long sleeves, adorned with lace flounces, as well as the left side of the front of the skirt, are completely trimmed with taffeta applications. The tulle bodice, with a pointed neckline in front and behind, is trimmed with rounded lapels in taffeta covered with tulle embroidered with appliqués. The opening is filled with a chemisette in pleated mauve silk muslin, adorned with a similar long tie held in place by ties.

Just wanted to gush about embroidery, (saw in a recent post you’re working on something right now) because it’s my job of sorts right now and It’s so much fun, I do needle paintings so it’s a lot of satin stitches but chain stitches are fun, also French and colonial knots are satisfying for sure. I would just love to see your work sometime, also I’d love to know your most obscure stitch because I’m always trying to learn new techniques!!

That's amazing; needle paintings are so impressive!

Sorry for the confusion- I don't actually embroider in the literal sense. What I'm doing is soutache embroidery, AKA soutache braidwork/braiding. It's not embroidery proper; it's stitching down a sort of flat braid called soutache in patterns. Like this:

mine isn't quite that neat, because this is my first major soutache project, but I'm learning! it's going around the hem of a skirt, black on peacock blue

Piece I did for a show called "Name That Tune" where all of the pieces were inspired by a song. This is "Two Lost Souls" based on Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."
