Brustfleck

[frualeydis]

Vendela's brustfleck.




The base fabric is a printed silk based on the woven pattern on "Queen Margaret's golden gown", from the early 15th century (dated by the pattern type rather than by the late attribution to Queen Margaret of Scandinavia), made by Duran Textiles (click the link and read about the fabric). The embroidery is made with rocaille beads and fresh water pearls.

It's a german 16th century thing. The dress is laced so that it is partly open over the smock in front and the brustfleck is covering the bosom.
