Quilting is a craft or technique so old that its origins seem to stretch into deepest history. Basic quilting consists of two layers of outer fabric stitched over a lining of softer padding, although cord or thick thread can also be used to form the raised pattern. It was certainly known to the Romans, and the noun "quilt" is derived from the latin "culcita" meaning mattress filled with feathers or soft wool. In the Europe of the Middle Ages, quilting was much used for jerkins or vests worn under heavy armour, or as an actual padded lining to it. By the eighteenth century, quilted garments were popular for warmth and as protection against draughts. Women's decorative petticoats were particularly common, but also cloaks, caps and sleeveless bodices or jumps, as well as bed covers, men's waistcoats, children's caps and staybands and baby's robes. Some items were ready-made in workshops or by outworkers, particularly bed quilts and women's silk petticoats. The London Tradesman (1747) wrote that "quilted petticoats are made mostly by women, and some men, who are employed by the shops but earn little." Designs tended to be either simple geometrics like diamond panes, or more fluid stylised flowers, leaves and feathers; and cotton, linen or silk could provide the outer layer. Sometimes quilted pieces could also be printed or painted to add another decorative veneer, as in the main image from a quilted cloak. In essence, it is a technique which perfectly marries the decorative with the practical.); © Manchester Art Gallery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning corset from the 19th century. The corset, created by an unknown artist, is made of cotton, metal, leather, and satin. Its intricate design and craftsmanship are truly remarkable. The front of the corset is shaped to fit the bust with two gussets and vertical and diagonal bones. The remainder of the front is quilted, with boning along the edges and laced through thirteen metal eyelet holes. The back of the corset features a very straight design shaped to fit the hips with gussets on each side and fourteen vertical bones. The corset's top edge is cut away at underarm and bound with petersham at the front and brown leather at the back. A leather patch can be found at its center back inside hem. Decorative red stitching adorns its outside waistline as well as at the base of each gusset. Quilting has been used for centuries as a technique to create warmth, protection against draughts, and decorative garments or items such as bed covers. This particular corset exemplifies how quilting marries practicality with beauty. Displayed in Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate both historical fashion trends and skilled artistry that went into creating this exquisite piece.
