"The front and side back of a woman's waistcoat, 1620-40, linen embroidered with silk and metal threads in a pattern of strawberries."@en . "This panel was probably intended to form part of a woman\u2019s jacket. The triangular piece of fabric, called a gore, inserted into the lower edge, suggests it served as one of the jacket fronts. It is embroidered in a repeating pattern of strawberries in shades of pink and red. The silver-gilt thread is worked mainly in plaited braid stitch and the silks in detached button-hole stitch. Such vibrantly embellished jackets were a popular style in English women\u2019s fashions of the late 16th and early 17th centuries."@en .
