Glamis Stomacher - Online Festival Class
Deborah Wilding
Inspired by an elaborate embroidered stomacher depicted in a 16th century oil painting of Lady Arbella Stuart, an English noblewoman who was considered a possible successor to Elizabeth I, Deborah Wilding's magnificent Glamis Stomacher offers a truly glamorous way to enjoy this year's festival. During this 2-day class, Deborah will guide you step-by-step, sharing the expert techniques shown in her interpretation of Arbella's stomacher.
