feather designs and feather motifs

Feather designs: Alsace had much influence on fashion in the 19th century. At the time, Alsatian manufactures owned design workshops in Paris, working on top new designs and  motifs. In 1830, feather designs appear on the prints, imitating more or less realistically ostrich feathers or the plumage of birds. Feather designs and motifs, intended to dress the elegant ladies, these fabrics were coordinated with the elaborate headgear, which was made with a mix of ribbons, feathers, turban and precious jewels then in fashion.
