Here she is! This is the original dress in all it's golden glory. The quality of the fabric is fabulous and such an eye-popping colour. It's in amazing condition, could have been stitched yesterday rather than 250 years ago. @FolkTransport

Just look at the detail on this handmade button and all those cartridge pleats. Second picture shows the stitching used to hold all those pleats in place. @FolkTransport

Today at Osterley we've taken a step back in time to Georgian England, with our wonderful costume team dressed to impress! They'll be back again on 10 June, so make sure to visit and see their finery.

First layer of my Georgian costume - a linen shift. Only ever embroidered on linen before but it is a joy to sew! The hand rolled neckline was really satisfying - I am converted! @FolkTransport

Ouch! 22 hand sewn eyelets. Now I know why traditionally most corset makers were men. My poor fingers! You need strong hands to sew through all these layers. @FolkTransport
