- Bodice Front
Linen embroidered and quilted with coloured silks
English, early 18th century
494-1902
This women's informal bodice was first embroidered with a design combining exotic birds in the <i>Chinoiserie</i> style with large blossoms and leaves more often found in large English furnishings. It was then quilted in a technique known as cord quilting in which narrow cords are inserted between the lines of stitching to create a slightly raised ground. The back of the bodice, which has not survive, would probably have been a plain fabric and would have been concealed by an outer robe. [] (en)
- This is the front of a woman’s informal bodice of the early 18th century, intended for wearing under a loose robe open at the front. The back of the bodice, which has not survived, would probably have been made of plain linen. An embroidered pattern of exotic birds with large blossoms and leaves covers the front. It combines stylistic elements of <i>chinoiserie</i> design in the birds and aspects of late 17th century English embroidery in the flowers and leaves. The background is cord quilted, a quilting technique where instead of padding, thin cords are inserted between parallel lines of stitching. (en)
