One location chosen for “re-sequining” was the bodice cuff edges. The silver sequins left “shadows” on their former locations, so it was easy to see where sequins ought to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524972131813-2NBQ5X671UM1AXTOVI2H/63.357.57+back+overall+AT+edit.jpg Faille, lace, tiny sequins - Back of the ensemble after treatment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524972190338-83QAL19I8J65AE6VM0ZS/bodice+back+flat.JPG Faille, lace, tiny sequins - Back of the bodice before treatment The back of the bodice suffered from split at the center back seam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524973298130-PLGOH7S6H0WSYJ95BLR1/63.357.57+back+overall+AT.JPG Faille, lace, tiny sequins - Back of the bodice after treatment http://www.obietextileconservation.com/cream-damask-and-turquoise daily 0.75 2018-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524969776556-TYPQ0BNYC4XDJFVQB50V/83.70.4+front+overall+edit.jpg Cream damask and turquoise - The ensemble after treatment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524969776556-TYPQ0BNYC4XDJFVQB50V/83.70.4+front+overall+edit.jpg Cream damask and turquoise - The ensemble after treatment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524969864176-YZ2FXGCGKF1EDMZHHLR9/83_70_4+aqua+bt.jpg Cream damask and turquoise - The ensemble before treatment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524969991749-WDU9AKYEBXH30YVCGSW9/83.70.4+side+overall+AT+edit.jpg Cream damask and turquoise - After treatment, side view https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524970035268-PM4C3HYOVWBTYMG5NK0B/83.70.4+inside+waistband+AT+edit.jpg Cream damask and turquoise - Skirt waistband interior, after treatment This detail shot shows the interior of the skirt where the lining has been stabilized inside a “sandwich” of nylon net which holds the fragments of what survives in position and bridges what is lost with the net. After the lining sandwich had been assembled, it was reattached to the original waistband. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524970123972-FSUVS4KAG6HQV8EFTSXF/83_704_b_b04_03262014.JPG Cream damask and turquoise - Skirt waistband before treatment This detail of the skirt waistband before treatment (and inside out, here) shows how the loss of the lining caused what remained to hang precariously from a few points. The damaged lining also created an unsightly bulge where the damaged edge had bunched up and was even visible behind the silk chiffon panel, since the satin “modesty” backing has also pulled away completely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524970297942-AN04293V6EE7P1DO3GZG/DSC04161.JPG Cream damask and turquoise - Obie at work on the skirt treatment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524970344898-2EA96FA68OSKT3K2DOKH/dt+collar+1.jpg Cream damask and turquoise - Detail of the collar during treatment The collar stand (the fabric that stands straight up around the neck) was completely lost, leaving only a few fabric fragments stuck to the back of the beaded metal braid trim. The height and length of the collar stand was suggested by the trim, which was still tacked to the bodice at a few points. A new stand was created using dyed-to-match silk satin. Here, fitting the trim to the stand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1524970436372-105PQ8NLAGXVJFCE57AT/83_70_4a_b01_20140321.jpg Cream damask and turquoise - Bodice before treatment, flat This flat shot of the bodice before treatment gives some sense of the lost collar, the damaged underarms, and the unstable closure. http://www.obietextileconservation.com/about daily 0.75 2018-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1415849467419-0SA313CA3I7WUHXCCOHL/ships.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/1415846378442-UNIYC0MOUC97RYO4ET7U/DSC03658.JPG About http://www.obietextileconservation.com/home daily 1.0 2025-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54640ce5e4b05a0920f5d6c6/12646723-7be9-4b48-83b2-451d194e49bc/incoming+check.jpg welcome http://www.obietextileconservation.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-04-07
