This is from the book I mentioned a couple of weeks ago (info at bottom of this post). The embroidery on this bodice just leaves me drooling. What work! The gown is dated 1812 and is in the textile collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

From The Art of Dress: Clothes and Society 1500-1914 by Jane Ashelford, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, 1996.
