OP From: Year of Wonder, by Geraldine Brooks
speaking of a dress fashioned by the new taylor in town, she says:
It was a golden green color, the color of sunlight-dappled leaves, of modest stgle, but well cut and flattering, its whisks and handstrimmed in a Genoa lace.
whisketis also used.. but it is something different, since it seems to be portable, and a basket or some sort of bag, you encounter lines about 'removed the oat cakes from my whisket..,and 'set down my whisket'
