Dress by John Galliano House of Dior, autumn/winter 1998–99 haute couture
Pink silk jacquard and black silk satin embroidered with polychrome silk thread.
Taken in the 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition (May-September 2015).
This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.

Rahima (left) - a master embroider - has been supported by AKF to set up her own business. AKF provided Rahima with the initial materials to get the business running. She now employs 10 women who help clean the wool, prepare the dyes and are learning the craft. Her pieces are sold in local markets and exhibited in Khujand in northern Tajikistan. Rahima learnt the craft from her mother (right). Her daugter is in the middle. In Murghab, AKF supports several groups like these. Not only do these women earn an income through these activities but they are also helping reshaping the role of women and their perceived value within their communities.

I plan to transfer the embroidery to a hand made silk fabric of the same underlying purple-black hue. The whole to be the cape / cowl of the ivory San Vicented Ferrer.
WIP skirt with hand embroidery. Obviously not in the Alabama Stitch book, but inspired by it while I waited for the book to ship from England.
Not ironed, hemmed or lined yet (don´t want to iron it more than i have to). I´m waiting to just lose those last few kilos before making it up.
I´m still not sure whether to do more circles on it, or whether to go for a more minimalist look. Opinions welcome!

detail of the smallest, neatest stitching I have ever seen. From a vintage apron.
It is a simple apron, probably made from an old shirt and embroidered with the neatest stitching I have ever seen. I love the colors! It makes me happy just admiring it!
Pattern from Elsie Flannigan's Etsy shop (elsiecake.etsy.com) - Neverland Embroidery Pattern.
I didn't do so well on this one - I got kinda sloppy.
It's still an embroidered pirate skull, though, and that's inherently rad.
Sold! Redesigned green dress covered with embroidered butterflies, houses, flowers, and little farm animals. Hihlo Studio.

This elaborate garment displaying beautiful dival embroidery, was a popular Turkish export from 1850-1920. This one was worn by Lillian Gambrell McCall (1880-1959) of Bennettsville, South Carolina. She married Charles Sinclair McCall in 1911 and lived on Appin Plantation.
Dival embroidery is typical of Turkish work – the wrapped thread is stitched to the fabric, not embroidered through it. The circular shape, upstanding collar and rolled thread buttons reflect an Albanian style cape or mantle.
