Instead they were attached to a tape and tied around the waist as separate garments.  Worn under  the hoops and petticoats, they were accessed through openings in the gown and petticoat seams.\r\n\r\nPockets of the early 18th century show a variety of influences in their embroidery designs.  Some come from imported Indian textiles, others from various types of British needlework found on both dress and furnishings.  The stitched pattern of overlapping circles seen here can also be seen on quilted bed and cushion covers.  The spiky flowers and leaves and use of small floral motifs show the influence of Indian printed cottons.  Typical of pocket embroidery is the placement of a border around the edge and the pocket opening with a repeated design filling the centre.  \r\n\r\nThe arrangement of the colours defining the motifs is slightly different on each pocket.","physicalDescription":"Linen pockets embroidered with silk thread, bound with green silk ribbon and attached to linen tape ties.
