| - Man's court waistcoat, 1780s, French; silver tissue, embroidered with silk and silver-gilt thread, altered 1870-1910 (en)
- Man’s court waistcoat with a standing 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 silver tissue with a white silk taffeta ground, the back of bleached fustian. The waistcoat fronts and pockets are lined with fustian; the pocket-flaps with white silk satin. The waistcoat is appliquéd with blue silk ribbon and black silk and embroidered-to-shape with silver-gilt filé, spangles, foil, purl and cord, and silk floss in white and shades of pink, blue, purple and green, in a pattern of flowers and leaves on the pocket flaps, front edges and hems, and below the pockets. The fronts are filled with repeated floral sprigs embroidered in silver filé. There are 9 worked buttonholes along the left front with 9 embroidered buttons on the right front.
The waistcoat was altered in the late 19th century, probably for fancy dress; the back lining was removed and the centre back seam unpicked and resewn. The front facings and front collars were covered with white satin and ivory silk twill, respectively. (en)
