But the information is useful... Why gingham, why quilted vests, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-177#post-2346254 Mon, 04 Dec 2023 21:51:42 +0000 Ginger 2346254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so I have to share my friend Merja's recreation of one of the Fortuny "Delphos" dresses, from 2019. She baked the material in the oven to set the pleats, over a curved surface; she says when she does it again she will modify the technique somewhat. Fortuny took the secret to making the pleated silk to his grave, so all recreations of these dresses are having to invent the technique themselves.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/beforetheautomobile/posts/pfbid029Y6YDBQZdkFJG9RRHf182iQWKHCha6TRZfLgXMzUvwSn5FzRwS5gXEz2g2niVEK5l">https://www.facebook.com/befor.....ZfLgXMzUvw</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>It's amazing in motion.
