The heat impressed markings on this shirt are very rare and unusal. I am assuming it must have been a heated decorated clamp where the cloth was inserted and a pattern produced. Do tell me more if you know about this. Thank you. In original old white ie. not washed in modern detergents. My guess is this has not been worn.
From the attic of a house built in 1550. Provance available.
This group of infants clothes will be sold as a collection.
The very fine T shaped linen shirt with round neck, the bodice worked with a heat press to produce a feather type design, the back similar above plain lower sections, front opening, the sleeves with double pleats and inset gore.
Length10 in; 25 cm
Sleeve width 16 in; 40 cm
Very very good. No markings. I don't feel this has been worn.
