A cream silk bobbin lace jacket laid flat with a central vertical panel and two wide side panels. Symmetrical, curved patterns and fine mesh-like sections create an intricate open-work structure. Small, repetitive loops form a scalloped border around the edges. Throughout the garment, circular floral motifs are formed from delicate threads. The mirrored composition highlights a complex, wing-like silhouette against the black background.
