G2005.133Description
Morning jacket made of fine ivory merino wool. Pointed collar. Long, narrow sleeves with deep turnback cuffs. Straight hip-level hem. One hook fastener at the neck. Shaped to accommodate a moderate bustle. Lined with white silk. The cuffs, collar, hem, and opening have embroidered borders of rosebuds and forget-me-nots executed in colored silk chenille thread. Since this one is not fitted and has no buttons or hooks except at the neck, it is speculated it was a maternity garment.Collection
