Man’s waistcoat with straight 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 white silk taffeta. The pocket flaps are lined with white silk taffeta. The waistcoat is embroidered-to-shape with silk floss in shades of pink, green and brown, in pattern of leaves and small flowers, on the pocket flaps and around the front edges and hems. the fronts are embroidered with repeating leafy sprigs. There are 11 worked buttonholes along the left front, with 12 embroidered buttons on the right front.
The waistcoat was altered in the late 19th century, probably for theatre costume or a studio prop. The back was replaced, the fronts relined, the left side cut away at the armhole and sewn to the new lining. The fronts were cut down at the neck and the embroidered edges used to make a collar.
