Summary
Jacket; Young girl's summer or evening spencer. Pink and white striped brocade ribbon spencer, cotton lined, the sleeves with three panels of pleated pink silk satin ribbon. Square back neckline, sleeves and medium high waistline bound in pink satin ribbon with three ribbon ties at centre front. Earlier rather than later date due to the absence of hooks and eyes (1814) and the pleated satin which appears in our example of a helmet hat, probably not much later than 1810. 1804 - 1823 (circa)
