I built my shop around my innate love of textiles. 15 years ago it was not so difficult to buy clothes from the 30’s, 20’s, Edwardian, Victorian eras.
I’d examine them closely…many handmade…and admire the delicacy of the stitches, the way they were constructed.
So – no surprise – I found the video below to be quite fascinating :o)
P.S. Swineshead is not so far away from here. Who’d’ve thunk it was once a voice of female ideal beauty?
