I am lucky that Chris and I have lots of interests in common, as well as our individual interests too. It makes for lots of harmonious visits.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-75626755970995721662013-02-14T15:44:40.246+00:002013-02-14T15:44:40.246+00:00What amazingly detailed and precise embroidery!

I believe Beatrix Potter made studies of waistcoats in the V and A for that book. It was lovely to be able to look at the clothes. I would have loved to have touched the silk and embroidery, but, of course, that wasn't allowed, so I had to restrain myself. The waistcoats looked so small compared to our sizes today - a pre-teen might just fit into them!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-42419373567841594952013-02-12T22:07:39.526+00:002013-02-12T22:07:39.526+00:00Dear Mirjam

They remind me of Beatrix Potter's The Tailor of Gloucester! Such exquisite embroidery! But yes, the sizes do look small!
