Four pieces of skirt flounce of silk thread and straw embroidered organdie, possibly made in England or France, ca. 1860s. Four pieces of skirt flounce of silk thread and straw embroidered organdie. The embroidery is composed of flowers, leaves and stems in satin stitch shading with green, red, and mauve silk, while straw ears and stalks are worked in satin stitch with natural straw splints. The scalloped border of the flounces is edged with straw splints in satin stitch. Two of the four pieces have a slightly larger, more spaced out embroidered pattern than the other two, indicating that originally the four pieces were made into two flounces, one above the other on the skirt. Flounce with an embroidery pattern spaced out over the length of the flounce. The cut top edge is kept from fraying by a simple whipping stitch of white silk thread, giving the edge a sligthly gathering effect. Three press studs at the back of the top edge, concentrated to the right. Flounce with an embroidery pattern along the lower part of the flounce. Flounce with an embroidery pattern along the lower part of the flounce. Top edge turned in, hand sewn down with a gathering thread through the fold. One press stud on the back of the top edge fold, reinforced fastening by square cut cream silk tape. Flounce with an embroidery pattern spaced out over the length of the flounce. Remains of gathering thread along the top edge. Silk thread and straw embroidered on organdie.
