| - Man's waistcoat, 1780-85, British; ivory silk, embroidered coloured silks, altered 1870-1910 (en)
- Man’s waistcoat with a standing 1-inch (2.5 cm) collar, curving fronts and skirts reaching to the top of the thigh. Each front has a pocket and pointed pocket flap. The fronts and pocket flaps are made of ivory silk taffeta. The waistcoat fronts and pockets are lined with bleached linen; the front skirt and pocket-flap linings and front facings are ivory silk taffeta. The waistcoat is embroidered-to-shape with silk floss in white, black, blue and shades of pink and green, in a pattern of flowers and a row of circles imitating beads on the pocket flaps, front edges and hems, and below the pockets. The fronts are filled with repeated floral sprigs and diamonds embroidered in silk floss. There are 11 worked buttonholes along the left front with 11 embroidered buttons on the right front.
The waistcoat was altered in the late 19th century, probably for fancy dress or a studio prop; the back was replaced. (en)
