DescriptionWoman's dressing jacket of pale green silk, with three-inch-wide scalloped ecru lace. The jacket opens at center front. The lace is stitched continuously along the opening edges and around the neck; it is folded back and stitched down at the bottom edges. The jacket has short (seven-inch) sleeves, which are also edged with this lace. The bottom edge of the jacket is cut in shallow scallops and edged with a narrow ruffle of ecru net. The jacket closes with pale green silk ribbon ties. Two pink ribbon rosettes are stitched in spots corresponding to the ties on the opposite side of the opening. (Some ties and rosettes are probably missing.)
