Ribbon Stereo Embroidery History
Sep 04, 2021
Ribbon embroidery has an amazing long history, dating back to the 17th century. It first appeared on men's coats and women's dresses as a huge wreath. During the rule of the Commonwealth, due to various laws passed by the Puritan government, ribbon embroidery gradually ceased to be popular.
Ribbon embroidery, also known as Rococo embroidery, first appeared in England at the beginning of the 18th century (traditionally, it should be in France, because there is no relevant documentation to prove the origin of ribbon embroidery is still controversial). During that period, tailors in London began to imitate the embroidery techniques loved by the French public. Since then, about every 50 years, ribbon embroidery will re-start a fashion trend in the fashion industry.
At the same time, ribbon embroidery is still flourishing in Europe. It was brought to England and became popular in England. During that period, embroidery needles became smaller, and ribbon embroidery began to appear on shoes in order to match coats and dresses. Slowly, this fashion trend and embroidery technology spread to the United States and became popular there.
In the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, ribbon embroidery lost some popularity due to the popularity of other decorative forms. With the success of couturier Charles Worth, ribbon embroidery has restored some popularity to a certain extent. Charles Worth changed the clothing industry.
Women’s wardrobes continue to expand because they sometimes change clothes up to seven times a day. For the most fashionable and advanced ladies, dressing also includes changing shoes. Going back to the previous fashion trend again, in order to match the dress, embroideries began to be popular again on the shoes.
With the rise of embroidery after the 19th century, ribbon embroidery became popular on clothes, handbags, hats and gloves. Ladies also use it to beautify ordinary shawls, blankets and other household items.
At the beginning of the 20th century, it gradually became obsolete. It was not until the 1990s that embroiders once again picked up ribbons and embroidered them with ribbons, which revived again.
In recent years, ribbon embroidery has gradually replaced cross stitch in the Chinese market.
