The stomacher formed part of the ensemble of fashionable women’s dress from the 1680s to the 1780s.  This example mimics the buttoned fastening and skirts of a man’s waistcoat.  It may well have been worn with a jacket styled after masculine fashions, such as a woman’s riding coat.  The design and execution of the embroidery, as well as the style of the stomacher, suggest an Italian origin.","physicalDescription":"Woman's stomacher of cream silk, lined with linen. It is embroidered with coloured silk floss and silver-gilt filé and filé-wrapped parchment in a floral design .  It is shapled like the front of a woman's riiding waistcoat with skirts below the waist, uncut buttonholes and decorative buttons. The neck, centre fronts and skirts are bound with wide silver-gilt filé ribbon.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"},{"text":"silver-gilt thread","id":"x30492"},{"text":"silk thread","id":"x30127"}],"techniques":[{"text":"hand sewing","id":"AAT257459"},{"text":"hand embroidery","id":"x30339"},{"text":"hand weaving","id":"AAT53643"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silk, linen, silver, gold; hand-woven, hand-sewn;  hand-embroidered","categories":[{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AR0199","2006AR0195","2021MW4054","2021MW4055"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"011","id":"THES310428"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Stomacher","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Italy","id":"x28927"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1760-1780","earliest":"1760-01-01","latest":"1780-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Mrs P.
