This child's dress was made in the 18th century. The colors of the embroidery are so vivid that it seems almost new. Today the same fabric would cost about $2000 a yard. In the 18th century this kind of fabric was even more expensive ( the value of clothes was often an important part of the estate , especially when you compare it to the value of real estate in the 18th century).
The next piece was designed by Christian Lacroix. He has a very extensive knowledge of the way antique fabrics were made as you can see.
