Gilet aux feuilles bleu-gris, projets de broderies de gilet, XVIIIème siècle
1750
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
This drawing shows bright flowers and leaves in a blue frame. The flowers are pink, red, and yellow. The leaves are green and gray. The background is plain and light-colored. The shapes are outlined in blue. The flowers look like they’re meant to be stitched, not just drawn. This style was used for making clothes. Look up embroidery to see how these designs might have been turned into fabric.
