It's Fichu Friday!
This lovely ca.1800-25 fichu is from the V&A collection.
A fichu is a triangle-shaped piece of fabric which was worn around the decolletage.
Object description from the V&A website:
"Triangular fichu of delicate, but fairly large, drochel net. Around the edges, a delicate pattern of thin stemmed flowers entirely worked in cloth stitch with raised, woven edges. Attached to the fichu is an edging of poor quality Honiton bobbin lace."
Fichu, late 1890s.
