Pelerine made of lilac/gold shot silk taffeta, lined with ochre polished cotton. Possibly interlined as well. Truncated triangle shape front and back, extended in a split point over the shoulder. Similarly designed collar on a stand that spreads from the short V neck in center front to form a split point just forward of the shoulder, and in the center back is another descending split point. Edges piped. Narrow cotton tape attached inside of back bottom reaches to front where it should tie without being seen. No loops or hooks to attach it to the front bottom. One hook and eye fastener at neck. Very stylish.Collection
