Even 30,000 years ago, an ancient man, having learned to make needles and threads, practiced embroidery on clothes to give individuality to things. Such clothes often even had a name, were worn very carefully and dressed on a special occasion.
And, although such a thing as a wedding dress did not exist for a long time, nevertheless, the wedding was that special occasion for which the best and embroidered clothes were saved.
From the Iron Age to modern times
It is interesting that scientists find the oldest traces of embroidery all over the world – from China and Northern Europe to Egypt, and it is quite natural that wedding dresses from ancient times also had elements decorated with hand embroidery:
- In ancient Mesopotamia, the bride was required to wear an embroidered shawl after her wedding
- In Byzantium, brides were supposed to dress chastely, so a wide dress lavishly decorated with embroidery and precious stones was worn over a closed tunic made of heavy fabric.
- In the time of Napoleon, silk embroidery was actively used not only to decorate, but also to seal the bodice, at the same time the first princess-style wedding dress was sewn
- During the Victorian era in England there was a boom in the so-called Broderie Anglaise, which looked like lace by cutting many holes in the fabric, which were then tightly overcast. At that time, the edges of the puffy sleeves of the undershirt, which was worn under the wedding dress, were decorated with such embroidery.
