. "This white satin waistcoat is extravagantly trimmed with dyed rabbit fur. Occasionally used as a decorative trimming on men\u2019s and women\u2019s dress in the 18th century, it has been arranged in strips here to imitate fringing. The fur appears to have been dyed a rather acid green, although it is possible that the colour has undergone a chemical change. The waistcoat is also decorated with narrow black velvet ribbon, embroidered with silver foil, purl and glass paste."@en . . .
