-----Original Message----- I am thinking about embroidering a spencer with silk ribbon. I tried several years ago to document the use of silk ribbon embroidery in Regency times and didn't have any luck. It may be that it originated in the 18th c., then went out of fashion until later, although even the assertion that it was popular in the 18th century was not well-documented. If anyone has convincing evidence, I would love to see it.
