About Hand embroidery.
Whitework and hand embroidery were highly popular in European fashion during the early 18th century. Sheer cotton muslin dresses embroidered with classical designs were in high demand. Motifs and designs were executed with various surface stitches and drawn threadwork. This dress is embellished, using the same white work hand embroidery on silk.
