Hard to tell, not a spencer http://tinyurl.com/29z9f47
http://tinyurl.com/23xn7gd Though not an expert, I have not seen either the spencer jacket or the light weight spencer jacket with ribbon embroidery but if it was done and no extent currently found, I would say cuff area is one location and possibly armseye seam area. -----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.
