Man's court waistcoat, the fronts are made of white ribbed silk with standing 3-inch (7.7 cm) collar, curving fronts and skirts reaching the top of the thigh. Each front has a pocket and scalloped pocket flap. The back and front linings are fustian. The fronts are faced, skirts and pocket flaps lined with white silk taffeta. The waistcoat is embroidered with silk floss in shades of green, pink, terracotta and yellow on the collar, pocket flaps, along the front edges and hems, in a design of flowers and leaves, with a repeating pattern of leaves filling the waistcoat fronts. There are 7 worked buttonholes along the left front and 7 corresponding embroidered buttons on the right front.
The waistcoat was altered for fancy dress in the late 19th century. The fustian back was taken in at the side seams, eyelet holes were added around the armholes and a pair of linen tape ties added to the sides at the back waist.
