I am writing this Blog because along with the fun title comes another 'F' - fragile! The dress I am about to show you is rare, dating to c1760-65 in my opinion [I justify this below], and as you would expect for such age, has faults related to delicacy & has been 'reinforced' by a less that expert seamstress. These stitches to support it can certainly be improved upon if you are competent with hand stitching, as all the current renovation is in large tacking stitch - easy to remove. But better
