Inspiration for this design I have found from a sample book in Cooper Hewitt Museum collections.

The absolut fabric choice to create the real 1857 look is Light Weight Cotton Mul-Mul.
The width of the fabric is 125 cm.

You need to oder about 12 meters to create a dress. 

The Fabric will be printed lengthwise so that both long edges can be used and the fabric is not cut too meny times.



Thereza Dillwyn Llewelyn, Born in 1834, was a Welsh astronomer and pioneer in scientific photography.

Llewelyn collaborated with her father in a number of astrophotographic experiments, including the production of some of the earliest photographs of the moon in the mid-1850s.

 

She later recalled how "as moonlight requires much longer exposure, it was my business to keep the telescope moving steadily as there was no clockwork action.

Grandma's Laundry Tricks:
  • Do not Brush, Rub or Scrub the printed fabrics too hard to avoid damage to print quality.
  • Wash with similar colours to avoid staining or tint.
  • Please do not overuse the centrifuge, it only wrinkles the fabric.
  • Please do not overuse the dryer or use extrem heat, this only tears the fibres apart.
  • A dehumidifier is a great invention to dry the fabrics and clothes.
  • Dry the fabrics outdoors, if possible, but not under direct sunlight.
  • Environmentally awareness and the durability of clothing go hand in hand.
  • Do You really need to use the fabric softener or is white vinegar good enough?
