A little late for #FridayNightFrills but here is the 18th century inspired coat I recently made for a friend!
With a fitting end to our #FridayNightFrills I present this impressive 2m wide Court Mantua said to have been worn at a Holyrood ball in 1760 by Helen Robertson of Ladykirk. Via National Museums Scotland #Frillers
Please join me in thanking Kitty Pridden for all the wonderful #FridayNightFrills . So much to wonder at, plus so generous with me when I was starting out. Anyway, we’re all #Frillers now 💕
