Onderbroek (directoire) van roze crêpe de chine afgezet met Blonde appliqué-kant. 1920 - 1930

This is a pair of underwear made of pink crepe de chine and blonde lace appliqué by Madame Watrigant. Imagine Madame Watrigant delicately arranging the folds of fabric, her fingers dancing across the surface as she pins and sews. The crêpe de chine, with its subtle texture and gentle sheen, reminds me of a watercolor painting where light and shadow play across the surface. The pink hue evokes a sense of softness. Then there's the lace. So intricate! It's like drawing with thread. I can imagine her carefully placing each piece, building up layers of pattern and texture, to create depth. This isn’t just an undergarment; it’s a testament to craft and an intimate expression of creativity. Like a painting, it invites us to contemplate the beauty in everyday objects and the artistry of those who bring them to life.
