Ladies Outdoor Garment 351 L - August 1890

In the present instance, Aubergine and cream-white cloth are united in the jacket, with silver braid and machine-stitching for a completion.

The jacket is adjusted stylishly by under-arm and side-back gores, and a well-curved center seam which ends a little below the waist-line at the top of coat-laps rounded at their lower corners.

The fronts finished with a handsome collar, which passes across the back and tapers narrowly to the bottom, fall apart stylishly. The collar rolls in Medici fashion its entire length and is decorated handsomely with a fancy design done in a silver braid.

Two openings for pockets are made in the right side of the jacket, and one in the left, and both are concealed by pocket-laps, which are outlined by machine-stitching and finished at each upper corner with a triangular ornament done with a twist.

The coat sleeves are gathered at the top to produce a high impression above the shoulders, and a cuff is outlined on each by several rows of machine stitching, a button being placed ornamentally back of the wrist. Machine-stitching also follows the lower outline of the jacket.

The vest, which is shown stylishly between the fronts of the jacket, is pictured made of figured pique. The smooth adjustment is affected using single bust darts, under-arm seams, and a well curved center seam.

The closing is made with buttons and button-holes, and a point is shaped at each side of the closing. The top of the vest is cut out at the front in a shallow V-shape to show the elegant chemisette, Piccadilly collar, and puff scarf; and the edges are bound with washable braid.

A welt conceals an opening for a pocket, made at each side near the lower edge.

The jacket will be favored for wear during the early Autumn.

Costume Options

All varieties of light-weight cloth, plain, checked, or striped cloaking, etc., will develop charmingly by the mode; and the decoration may consist of braiding or embroidery done with fancy cords, or a simple finish of machine-stitching may be adopted.

For Autumn wear the collar will be made of velvet, heavy corded silk, or Astrakhan, in which case the braiding may be omitted. The vest may be made of piqué, all sorts of fancy vesting, etc., and a finish of machine-stitching will always be in good taste.

The stylish toque is draped with velvet and trimmed with fancy pins.

Terminology

LADIES’ JACKET Pattern No. 3385.

The jacket represented is made of Aubergine and white cloth and decorated with silver braid on figure No. 351 L (above) in this Delineator, where it forms part of a costume.

The jacket pictured above, developed in light-weight cloth with adjustments available by under-arm and side-back gores, and a well-curved center seam that ends a little below the waistline at the top of coat-laps, the lower corners of a rounded cut.

The fronts are narrow and loose-fitting and separate all the way down. At the neck is a collar that has a seam at the back and extends to the lower edges of the fronts, with rounded lower corners.

It adds to the width of the fronts and may roll in Medici fashion nearly to or all the way to the lower edge, as preferred, either arrangement giving a decidedly stylish air to the garment.

If desired, the fronts may be held together near the waist-line using straps, which are furnished by the pattern; they are secured underneath to the collar with buttons and button-holes.

A pocket inserted near the lower part of each front has an opening being concealed by a deep pocket-lap, which is cut rounding at the lower corners; and a smaller pocket is inserted in the right front a short distance above the lower one and finished with a small pocket-lap.

The stylish coat-sleeves are gathered at the top to rise high above the shoulders, and two rows of machine-stitching finish each wrist edge.

Two rows of stitching finish the loose edges of the jacket, with a row of stitching at each side of the joining of the collar.

Costume Options

The mode may be developed in all sorts of fancy cloaking appropriate for jackets, Cheviot, lady’s cloth, flannel, serge, cashmere, etc., is well liked. Velvet may be united with wool goods, being used for the collar and pocket-laps; and sometimes the sleeves will also be made of velvet.

One or several rows of machine-stitching will generally be used for finishing the edges, though, if preferred, these may be decorated with cord or bound merely with silk or mohair braid. A silk lining may be added to the jacket if desired.
