Hi Everyone! In Part 4, Shari is back with us to round out the Regency Fashion topic. Take it away, Shari...
I finished sewing the bodice and skirting for my Regency dress project and I love how the white work turned out. In this video we're going to look at another Regency Era Slow Stitching project.
Just like the Van Dyke stitch in our previous video, this V shaped embellishment was also named for the 15th century artist Anthony Van Dyck. I wonder if he ever thought that his painting of Charles I's V shape beard would be his legacy?
Van Dyke points were a popular way to embellish dresses and other accessories during the Regency period and I thought a row of this trim along the waistline and top of the skirt ruffle would finish this dress off nicely.
Follow along to see how to add this design element to your next sewing project!
