I probably wouldn't be expecting to copy the stomacher pattern but I
sure would love to see it, Bjarne!

I have an original embroidery pattern for a ladys stomacher made with
the whitework tecknique. Also a ladys cape.
The patterns comes from a collection at Nordiska Museum in Stockholm,
where they belonged to a lady called Beata Jacquette Ribbing. She
lived in the first half of the 18th century, so my guess would be
these patterns being made between 1730- 50.
I have made a high resolution scanning of the patterns, and i could
blow them up to normal size without problems. They are insane
beautifull, and especially the stomacher it is possible to
rekonstrukt. The pattern of the cape needs to be rekonstrukted in some
of the areas, but with patience and skill its possible.
If anyone is interrested, i would not mind to post it to my website,
so that you could copy it.
