Summary
Coat. Deep purple silk velvet, with coloured silk embroidery in realistic floral pattern of roses and narcissi. Probably made up in the 1770s and altered in the next decade. There is evidence of alteration in the cutting through of embroidered motif and application of cut material above the pocket flaps. (c.1780).
