Here are some examples of early to mid
18th century sashes that my wife and I have made. They are made to go once around the waist and tie by the fringes. This is the correct way to wear them for this period. The beaded fringes are a lot of work but well worth the effort. There are also tin cones on the fringe ends.
SPLENDID work, very elegant! May I ask what kind of yarn was used for these?
ReplyDeleteHi indigo. 5 ply pure wool for sashes, and 4 ply pure cotton for straps.
