Hi,
Here is the link to the stomacher and cape patterns.
They belonged to Beate Jacquette Ribbing in first half of 18th
century. She was the daughter of a minister.

To get a full size scale of the pattern, depending of wich size you
want, it has to be blown up to something between 400 and 500 %

I suspect very strongly that this is trapunto work, not embroidery as
such. A Danish friend of mine has a waistcoat embroidered in a very
similar style, and of the same date. I have photos of it in close-up,
and of the back, and you can see where the candlewick ends are left.
