Length of dress fabric of block-printed and embroidered cotton muslin with floss silk, India, late 18th century Indian muslin (another name for fine cotton) was very popular for women's dresses in Britain during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This length, which was never made up into a dress, has been embroidered with a delicate floral design: vertical meandering vines alternating with scattered sprigs of leaves and flower-heads. The use of untwisted ('floss') silk and the choice of satin stitch rather than chain stitch both point to influences from China. A more traditionally Indian fabric for the Western market would have used twisted silk thread and chain stitch. Length of dress fabric of fine cotton muslin embroidered with a floral meander motif in floss silk in satin stitch. With a design of flower sprigs and continuous meandering stems with leaves, buds and flowers. The design was block-printed onto the muslin before embroidery, and there are printed buds on the field which have been left unembroidered. With a silk ribbon sewn onto the lower edge.
