(abiti di) mussola con decori di ramoscelli Explanation: Hai dato troppo poco contesto per permettermi di essere sicura della risposta. muslin = mussola sprig = con decorazioni di ramoscelli/fiori (stampate, ricamate o applicate) Questo termine descrive prima di tutto il tessuto, e per estensione, in questo caso, probabilmente anche l'abito. Il termine era anche usato nei romanzi regency che si possono leggere ancora. http://scribblingsjournal.blogspot.in/2013/06/girlhood-thing... Also on a slightly unrelated note, I have an observation. Isn't "sprigged" the loveliest word? Meaning "decorated with a design of leaves or flowers" you'll most often read it in books like Betsy-Tacy, and Little House on the Prairie, in the context of describing fabric. Ma Ingalls has a sprigged calico dress, Tib Muller has a lilac sprigged dress, and I do believe there's a Georgette Heyer book titled "Sprig Muslin". The word is dainty and quaint and innocent in sound, and I am utterly enthralled with it. It kinda makes me want to sew a sprigged calico dress of my own. http://englishwithasmile.org/2013/07/20/poetry-time-easy-lin... “Muslin” is an old word for a soft cotton fabric that was used for women’s dresses a lot. Sprig-muslin may refer to the cloth being embroidered or decorated by tree or flower branches. Sprig - Merriam-Webster Online www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sprig 2sprig. transitive verb. spriggedsprig·ging. Definition of SPRIG. 1. : to drive sprigs or brads into. 2. : to mark or adorn with the representation of plant sprigs. 3. Questo fa chiaro riferimento al tessuto di "sprig muslin": http://books.google.co.in/books?id=8cPYA8oUwYwC&pg=PT25&lpg=... Georgette Heyer scrisse un libro nel 1956 intitolato proprio "Sprig Muslin" e qui si puo' leggere dell'autrice http://cipriaemerletti.blogspot.in/search/label/Georgette He... |

Abiti di mussola con ricami floreali Explanation: Visitando il bellissimo articolo che ha citato Daniela http://janeaustensworld.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/regency-fas... ho visto la decorazione sui tessuti che si usavano per gli abiti stile impero è descritta come "embossed" (goffrato) e "tamboured" (ricamato)... Per quanto riguarda "floreale", so che non corrisponde esattamente a "sprig" ma credo che sia il termine italiano più comune quando si parla (genericamente) di una decorazione con elementi vegetali... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2014-06-06 07:37:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ho trovato altre foto con descrizioni di "sprigged gowns": http://thegoldenscissors.blogspot.com.es/2012/06/what-could-... http://thepragmaticcostumer.wordpress.com/tag/recycled-fabri... |
