Pocket, United States, c. 1799 - A Glimpse into Women's Fashion of the 18th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 18th century in America when women's clothing was a true work of art. Created by Sally Standish, an esteemed artist known for her intricate needlework and textile designs, this piece showcases a pocket that was an essential accessory during that era. In those times, women did not have sewn-in pockets in their garments. Instead, they wore separate pockets tied around their waists and concealed beneath their skirts. This particular pocket is made from cotton plain weaves and lined with linen for durability. Its edges are beautifully adorned with cross-stitched cotton fabric while some areas feature exquisite silk embroidery in chain and cross stitches. The floral pattern on this pocket reflects the popular design aesthetic of the time - delicate blossoms intricately woven together to create a stunning visual display. The patchwork technique used adds further charm to this unique object. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's heritage art gallery, this artifact provides valuable insight into both fashion history and women's lives during the early years of America's independence. It serves as a testament to Sally Standish's exceptional skill as she seamlessly blends functionality with artistic expression through her masterful weaving and sewing techniques. As we admire this remarkable piece by Sally Standish, let it remind us of how even everyday objects can hold great cultural significance and tell compelling stories about our past.
