Perhaps it was originally part of a gown (Italian) ensemble such as this one in the collection of the MET Museum. This fine White Sprigged Cotton Muslin is hand-loomed, using a very fine yarn, at over 100 threads per inch, and is quite transparent. Well-suited for any fashion where fine muslin is required, and fine accessories such as caps, aprons, neckerchiefs, handkerchiefs, sleeve flounces and tuckers. Excellent for anything with white work or embroidery to include late 18th century and early 19th century gowns, and children’s clothing. White Sprigged Cotton Muslin is 100% Cotton, 44inches wide.
