WAAAY above my level of expertise, though.
Thanks for sharing.

Subject: [h-cost] embroidered linen stomacher
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.
