Doris’ Lamé Obsession or Collection? See her precious treasures of silver/gold woven fabrics! Haul

Hello The Way We Wore Fans,

Are you looking for something to savor? Well, in this video Doris showcases her personal collection of Lame garments, fabrics, trims, and embellishments. This ultra luxe fabric was used heavily for garments in the early 20th century, utilizing metals that are then woven in with silks, cotton, linen, and other fibers to create a dazzling fabric that was the ultimate in status and prestige. Couturiers like Poriet, Lanvin, Chanel, and more designed gowns that shimmered from the lame fabric. Prior to the 20th century, what was known as “the cloth of gold,” was a fabric only worn by royalty. There was even a law in England that restricted who could actually wear garments with gold woven into the textile. Early materials of gold and silver were know as assiut in Egypt and the Middle East, which was metal embroidery sewn on tulle. The history of metals used in fabrics stretches centuries all the way to ancient times. The beauty of studying textiles shows how societies and generations lived and utilized materials and how trades and artisans were created. We hope you enjoy this episode.
