EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a woman's skirt from England, specifically London, dating back to the early 17th century. Made of luxurious red silk satin and intricately embroidered with silk and metal threads, this hand-stitched garment showcases a border pattern of scrolling stems adorned with flowers and insects.
The craftsmanship displayed in this skirt is truly remarkable, reflecting the skilled artistry of the time period. While there are claims that it was made by Mary, Queen of Scots for Elizabeth I of England, experts believe that the style of embroidery points to a later date.
Measuring at an impressive 91x313 cm, this historical costume piece is now housed in Glasgow Museums in the UK. The rich color palette and intricate detailing make it a true work of art that offers us a glimpse into fashion trends from centuries ago.
As we admire this exquisite garment through the lens of Bridgeman Images' photography, we are transported back to a time when clothing was not just functional but also served as a form of expression and status symbol. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always been an integral part of human culture and history.
