Months spent in the throws of ribbon-pinning and flower-afixing, this piece is the product of spending too much time in antique shops and Chintz & Company. Other than being an explosion of notions, it is actually a direct replication of a drawing I found in a book about fashion plates, called (wouldn't you know it) Gallery of Fashion 1794. There you are. 
I loved the feeling of disappearing into the minute stitching and folding velvet while I worked.
