For a brief time during the Regency era, a hobby gained popularity among the aristocratic classes that involved removing the bullion metallic thread of embroidered embellishments from garments and textiles. Here I discuss first-hand written accounts of parfilage or drizzling, show examples of extant historical drizzling kits, and attempt to assemble a drizzling kit of my own from modern materials I already own in order to give a demonstration of drizzling.
Thank you so much for participating in this year’s #VirtualJaneCon!
