Summary
Black brushed cotton court dress jacket, hip length with red trim at the cuffs and round the collar. A line of silver cord piping runs round the collar down the leading edge of each breast and round the bottom edge. The same piping is used to decorate each breast with horizontal patterns, those on the left forming loops to fasten on to toggles on the right. Metal clip fasteners are concealed inside the leading edge. Three quarters of the inside is padded and lined with cream silk, the lower quarter lined with ribbed black silk.
