Black satin vest, waist, or waistcoat, worn by women over a blouse and usually with a long skirt. Sleeveless and 'v'-necked. Bronze-brown braid [I. J. almost certainly originally black] around the bottom, sleeves and neckline. The braid is sprinkled with tiny cut steel beads. Fastened with a crossover, shaped with two tucks on either side, at waist, with two hooks-and-eyes, and decorated with a large, heart-shaped medallion formed of multiple black bullion stitch braid rosettes, also sprinkled with tiny cut steel beads. Back is also v-necked and has the same centre medallion as the front and a diagonal tuck running from left shoulder seam to right side seam. Fully lined. Sturdy ribbon waist stay, fastened by large hook-and-eye, with a narrow twill tape stitched at each side area (for skirt attachment???)Acquisition
