Fichu historical

Fichu. Brooch is not included. 

Fichu is a thin scarf or square scarf folded diagonally made of light fabric or lace, covering the neck and décolleté. Appeared in the clothing of French women in the 17th century. The fichu covered the deep neckline on a lady's dress, which was popular at that time, warming and ensuring a decent appearance. However, ladies often used the shawl in such a way that the scarf revealed or favorably exaggerated women's charms rather than hiding them.

The fichu should not be confused with the Canezou, a scarf or scarf of a larger size, which also covered the neck and décolleté, but the ends of which crossed over the chest and were tied at the waist. 

The fichu in photo is made of cotton cambric fabric. You can choose the fabric and color that suits you best. Please note that the same color of different fabrics may differ in shade. Available fabrics: cambric (100% cotton), poplin (100% cotton), linen-cotton (55% linen, 45% cotton). 

Besides the fabric, you can choose the sewing method: hand stitches or machine stitches.
Hand stitches - the work is done entirely by hand, the product is historically accurate, looks authentic, is suitable for reconstruction, but requires more careful handling and care.
Machine stitches - the work is done by hand, but using a sewing machine and overlocker. The product is more durable, can withstand delicate machine washing, but is not historically authentic.

I can make a set for any product from my store (for example: fichu + cap + chemisette from the same fabric and lace)
