Gorgeous Shawl

Natalie Garbett is an English costume expert with a smashing blog. Here she demonstrates the actual size of a Regency era shawl. Those ladies in white muslin needed something to keep them warm in the cold, damp climate.

  2. I had no idea it would be so large! As a seamstress, I can see by the way she is holding it that it has to be at least three yards/meters long and maybe one and a half yards/meter wide. The color and border edges are gorgeous.
