Ladies House Jacket 350 L - 1890

In the present instance the jacket is shown made of geranium-red and cream-white Surah, with point de Gène lace and cord-edged ribbon for decoration.

The adjustment is performed by under-arm and side-back gores, and a curving center seam that ends below the waist-line at the top of an under folded double box-plait.

Each front is extended below the bust and turned under for a hem, over which are made two forward-turning, overlapping plaits that are well pressed in their folds and flare prettily to the lower edge.

Above the bust the fronts are cut out in V outline, and in the opening is disclosed a shirred chemisette that is made up on a plain lining of the goods and finished to form a frill at the neck; the chemisette is sewed permanently at one side and closed invisibly at the other side.

The collar provided by the pattern is here omitted, and instead is used a row of deep point de Gène lace. A ribbon bow is ornamentally placed over the closing at the bust.

The fancy sleeve is gathered at the upper and lower edges and arranged over a coat-shaped lining; the top rises stylishly above the shoulder, and the wrist is finished with a cuff that is decorated with a row of lace turned up from the edge.

Deep lace also ornaments the bottom of the jacket. The back ends of ribbon ties are plaited and inserted in the under-arm seams at the waist-line, and their front ends are tied in a bow with loops and ends at the waist-line over the closing, which is made invisibly.

Costume Options

This dainty jacket will develop handsomely in all sorts of silken and woolen textures, such as Surah, India and China silk, all wash silks, satin regents, silk-and-wool flannel, plain and figured all-wool flannel, cashmere, nun’s-vailing, Henrietta cloth and many other fashionable dress fabrics.

The chemisette furnished in the pattern is plain, but it may be formed of rows of lace or of a full section like that pictured. The garniture may consist of Vandyke-point lace, point de Gène, ribbon, etc., and feather-stitching will form a dainty decoration for the bottom of the garment.
