'Oldies but Goldies' Series - "Virtues" Chemise

I recently was surprised to find a folder on my computer with notes on old projects and research notes that I meant to blog about. I hope you won't mind if I occasionally post some of these less than current projects.

This one is from at least 2015 or 2016 (possibly earlier, I can't remember the date!). I made this chemise band for a dear friend. It is embroidered with chivalric virtues and the design is taken from a 16th extant modelbuch. The base fabric is linen, but it was so long ago that I can't remember if it was worked in silk or DMC floss.
