This piece is monogrammed with the initials of the bride and groom — a practice that by the 19th century had moved from the aristocracy into the middle class, where families commissioned embroidered monograms in imitation of noble crests. What began as a mark of nobility became, in time, an art form in its own right.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Making\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFrench trousseau linens were among the most carefully produced textiles in the domestic tradition. Woven from long-staple linen fiber on narrow hand looms, they were built to last across a lifetime — and often did, passed down through families as heirlooms. The monogramming was typically worked by hand in whitework embroidery, a discipline requiring considerable skill to execute cleanly on fine linen ground. A complete trousseau could take years to assemble, with the embroidery alone representing hundreds of hours of labor.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Garment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eVintage-inspired fit with dropped shoulders and a slightly tapered waist. \u003c\/span\u003eBecause this is cut from a single antique textile, there will never be another one exactly like it.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFit and Measurements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003eSize Medium\u003cbr\u003eChest circumference: 46.5\"\u003cbr\u003eShoulder: 19.25\"\u003cbr\u003eFront length: 28\"\u003cbr\u003eSleeve length: 34.5\" *Measured from center back of neck.\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Stan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44233123561514,"sku":null,"price":2760.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/2765\/6234\/files\/Untitleddesign_39_16f5fcaf-f7a6-4893-9a33-79b24c5f1b51.jpg?v=1777144350","url":"https:\/\/stanlosangeles.com\/products\/trousseau-linen-jacket","provider":"Stan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
