Short, collarless box jacket made from panels of loosely woven fabric with pink warp thread and yellow, orange, pale blue and lilac silk organza ribbon weft. Panel sections edged with tightly woven cream threads. A band of silk in graduated colours finnishes the inside hem. Very similar to a fabric sample in the Textile Student Work collection believed to be made by Pauline Mcconnachie.
Cream, synthetic velvet full-length dress coat. High neck, fitted bodice with long sleeves gathered on the shoulder and fastened with three double covered buttons at waist level. An open skirt falls in a narrow A line below with simple edge to edge closing on the front and a shaped central back panel to suggest a train. Badly marked by decay of metal sections of the covered buttons. Believed to have been designed and possibly made by either Violet or Daisy Anderson (see DC 022).
Ivory coloured full length dress in two layers, with a fine gauze silk over silk satin. Braided shoelace straps, fitted bodice and full skirt with decorative flounces. Eighteen covered buttons down back. Some damage through wear and from the metal parts of the buttons. Thought to have been designed and possibly also made by either Daisy or Violet Anderson (see DC 022).
Cream-coloured woven sample with design of bands or stripes in beige, brown, light purple or light blue cotton thread or loosely spun cream-coloured wool, alternating between different textile weaves.
Two-faced fabric with fine grey and beige warp threads and a coral pink and loosely twisted cream thicker gauge weft. One face in a plaid design of twill and plain weave with bands of coral and cream on a grey background. On the other face, the cream weft threads have been deliberately cut and fringed to form bands of texture against the closely woven grey and coral background.
Closely woven, double-faced, padded fabric in a grid like repeat pattern in plain weave which has been edged with a pale green cotton fabric. It has a central slash opening, probably created to fit as a protective cover. Woven in cream, three shades of green and two of pink, the boxes of coloured stripes are raised over padding to give a quilted effect. On the reverse, the padded squares are self coloured, separated by striped rectangles.
Loosely woven two-faced fabric with organza ribbons in purple and green and loose weave cotton ribbons in pink and green. Reverse shows supporting weave of green and dark blue wool.
Two-faced plain weave sample with fringe. The face consists of fabric ribbons of a satin weave green fabric and a coarse open weave fabric in purple, blue and yellow. The reverse is woven with red yarn and the same coarse open weave fabric in purple, blue and yellow.
Four sample weaves on card. One with sections with thick white wool weft. One ruched fabric caught with chevron stitches on blue and beige fabric. One with a geometric designed weave in peach, dark pink, teal, blue and gold. The final piece with open weave sections and bands of close woven tape in blue, grey and dark pink, with flat orange button decoration.
Double-faced evenly woven fabric in bands of geometric design in ochre, red, marron, blue and green. Distinctive arrowhead band repeats every few rows in different colourways.
Brightly coloured evenly woven fabric of blue and light purple warp and lime green, red, yellow and deep purple weft. Geometric design of stripes created by different colours and weave types.
Single-faced tightly woven cotton fabric, predominantly cream, with warp central band and selvedges in dark blue. Zig-zag, audio graph style pattern of coloured bands and barcode style blocks of coloured plain weaving contrast with the cream background.
Sample woven in basketweave with fine white thread. Supplementary weft cords made of pink or blue yarn, white fabric ribbons and metallic-like threads form a pattern of stripes.
Open weave cream fabric in different gauges of yarn including chenille. Loose basket weave to form an open grid design in two sections, one section with heavier bands of weft threads.
Tightly woven pile weave sample in fine cream-coloured yarn. The warps have been dyed or printed before weaving with bands of diagonal lines in pink, blue, yellow, green, purple and red. The cut pile ends form a lattice pattern.
Double-faced twill weave sample forming a pattern of vertical stripes. Woven with different types of yarn, threads and ribbons in orange, pink, yellow, light blue, brown, red, white, as well as supplementary wefts made of satin weave blue fabric ribbons.
Double-faced smooth woven fabric in shades of orange, green and claret. Shaded green warp threads, varying weave pattern to create banded geometric design.
Two faced woollen fabric in cream and light brown shades with bands of geometric pattern created by different weave types and subtle gradations in colour between bands.
Double-faced, tightly woven sample with grid-like design of coloured squares arranged in bands on a black background. Woven in plain weave with yarn in shades of pink, purple, orange, blue, brown and black. This sample was entered by Alison Blair as her entry for the RSA's Industrial Design Bursaries Competition in Furnishing Textiles.
Single-faced neatly woven fabric in shades of light gold, sand, grey and teal. Occasional mercerised light gold warp yarns give the fabric a slight lustre and twisted two colour yarn also introduced to contribute to pattern.
Sample woven with cotton threads and long-haired mohair-like yarn in shades of yellow and green that form a design of bands. On the face side some of the long-haired yellow yarn has been pulled to create a pattern of serrated diagonals.
Double-faced fabric woven in four sections, with cream warp threads and stripes of beige, light brown, grey, blue, and pink yarns used in sections of the weft, creating a patchwork effect of striped and plain coloured blocks.
