A horizontally wide creamy white lace jacket laid flat features sleeves that jut out, ending in sheer fabric cuffs. The garment is intricately worked with bobbin-made tape and needlepoint, creating large floral blooms and radiating fan-like patterns across the open-work surface. A high collar is secured by a vertical row of small buttons. Sinuous, web-like lines arch upward from the hem, framing the dense floral motifs on the chest and sleeves.
