An 1895 Arts and Crafts velvet coat in a deep pansy, with a vast medieval collar, hand-embroidered with sprays of Sweet Cicely (Myrrhis odorata), a wild flower much loved by the Elizabethans. By Marshall & Snelgrove, a London department store specialising in bespoke dressmaking.

@hrcastor @adelegeras Oh wow! Marshall & Snelgrove, Scarborough branch, the joy of my childhood. Ice cream in tall glass, posh ladies watching twirling mannequins, wandering off to measure my feet in the radioactive machine. They light up in the dark now.
