Rumba Rue Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Very interesting, I was surprised to see a tiered skirt. However I thought the material looked horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kass Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Tiered skirts were extremely popular with mantuas. You almost never see a mantua in a painting without one from 1680 until 1710. Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
