This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of an exquisite skirt or petticoat made from crimson silk. It is believed to have been embroidered by none other than Mary, Queen of Scots for her fellow queen, Elizabeth I, during her captivity at Hardwick. The intricate design features coloured silks and threads in gold and silver, creating a stunning visual display. The image captures the beauty and craftsmanship of this historic garment. Every thread seems to tell a story as they intertwine like delicate vines in the wind. The vibrant red hue symbolizes royalty while the thistle motif represents Scotland's national emblem. This piece not only reflects the artistry of embroidery but also highlights the connection between fashion and botany. The meandering pattern resembles plant growth and pollination, showcasing nature's influence on human creations.
