Inspiration to this design I have found from “Gazette des atours de la Reine Marie-Antoinette pour l'année 1782”, which can be translated; “An official journal of the attire of Queen Marie-Antoinette for the year 1782”.
I have given name to this fabric after Sophia Giustina Dussek, 1 May 1775, Edinburgh, was a Scottish singer, pianist, harpist, and composer of Italian descent. She also played a big role in the introduction of Mozart's music to London. She was a soloist in the London premiere of the Requiem, given at John Ashley's Lenten Oratorios, Covent Garden, on 20 February 1801. In 1792 she married Jan Ladislav Dussek. She had been performing, singing and playing the piano and harp with him for some time before that. Their daughter, Olivia, was also a pianist, harpist, and composer.
