The muslin is exceptionally fine and gossamer sheer, like tissue gauze. This high quality fabric, referred to by the French as Mousseline des Indes and described as “a cotton textile so fine as to be almost invisible”, was very popular with the affluent and elite society of the decadent Belle Epoque era, for both clothing and soft furnishings.
The embroidered method used to embellish this fine muslin textile was invented by a French engineer named Bonnas, in Paris, in the mid 1860s. The Cornely ( Cornelly ) embroidery machine, similar in size to a period sewing machine, created a type of chain stitch similar to hand tambour needle work, or crewel and utilized skilled operators, using a hand guided technique, to embroider intricate designs on fine textiles and fabrics.
