Notes	This decorated panel would have been part of a pair of women's trousers. It would have formed the lower leg, from knee to ankle. The upper part of the trousers was seldom decorated because it would have been hidden beneath a long chemise. At the end of the 18th century embroidery designs began to develop into rigid and heavily stylised borders. The colours were strong and designers used greater quantities of metal thread than in previous centuries. The designs were always inventive.
İlişki	Clarke, Caspar Purdon
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Linen, embroidered with silk in a combination of filling stitches worked on the diagonal and single lines of running in steps, double running in a line and counted satin stitch Linen Silk Thread Weaving Embroidering
Fiziksel açıklama	Woman's trouser panel, linen embroidered with silk in a combination of filling stitches worked on the diagonal and single lines of running in steps, double running in a line and counted satin stitch. The panel is cut so that it tapers at the ankle and would create fullness in the leg. Most of the lower edge is bordered with a line of inward facing red triangles above which are three slightly undulating rows, each with three large blossoms: red and pink alternating with two shades of blue; there are green leaves. The design has been derived from 18th century borders.
