Blush Puffed Sleeves
Echoes of the Belle Époque: This meticulous paper sculpture captures the dramatic silhouette of 1890s fashion, featuring the iconic 'leg-o'-mutton' sleeves that defined the era's distinctive style. Crafted from delicately aged sewing pattern paper with natural pink staining, this piece celebrates both fashion history and the ephemeral nature of garment construction.
The pattern's original markings, darts, and directional notations remain visible, creating a fascinating dialogue between the technical foundation of dressmaking and artistic expression. The three-dimensional sleeves, with their characteristic fullness at the shoulder tapering to a fitted forearm, showcase the extravagant proportions that characterised women's fashion during this elegant period.
