| - Man's waistcoat, 1744, British; cotton, embroidered whitework, cording, net insertions, hollie point (en)
- This style of whitework waistcoat was popular in the 1740s, most likely worn for informal summer wear. On the lower corner of each front, heart-shaped insertions of hollie point needlework bear the initials ‘PB’ and ‘AB’ and the date 1744. This suggests that the waistcoat was made for, or commemorates, a wedding. It is corded and embroidered around the front edges and on the pocket flaps in a pattern of stylised flowers and leaves. A variety of stitches can be seen, including stem, satin and running stitch, with French knots.
The waistcoat appears to have been worn for over a decade. Several alterations were made to allow for the rising hemline of waistcoats through the 1750s, as well as the wearer’s expanding waistline. (en)
- Man’s waistcoat with a round neck, curved fronts and skirts reaching to mid-thigh. Each front has a pocket and shaped pocket flap. The fronts, pocket flaps and pocket-flap linings are made of fine bleached cotton; the back of bleached linen. The waistcoat and pockets are lined with bleached linen. The fronts are embroidered-to-shape with white silk thread in a pattern of flowers and leaves with French knots, satin stitch, net insertions and drawn-thread work against a background of corded shell pattern. At each front corner is a heart-shaped insertion worked in hollie point with the initials ‘P B’ on the right and ‘A B’ on the right; both with the date ‘1744’. There are 15 worked buttonholes on a strip of fine linen under the left front edge and 15 corresponding Dorset thread buttons on the right front.
The waistcoat was altered, probably in the lifetime of the wearer; 2 darts were added to each front from the side seams, and 1 in each armhole. (en)
