I'm hand sewing a c. 1806 Regency gown out of white cotton muslin, and while doing research for it I came across all these stunning early 19thcentury gowns covered in white embroidery so of course I had to do the same to mine! I've been embroidering the skirt by hand for 3 months now so I thought I'd do a video on whitework embroidery and what it is and where it came from (and how to do it yourself). Jane Austen dress fans, behold!
