Physical description
Gilet in cream felted wool with high round neckline. Fastening at the centre front with three handmade buttons of the same cream wool. The top button with button loop, the lower two with button holes. The vertical line is notched at the mid-bust level to create a subtle asymmetrical detail. The front panel features three horizontal top stitched seams at the bust and four (including side seams) in the lower front. The back features a single vent and a further six top stitched seams of both vertical and horizontal orientation. The garment is fully lined with champagne coloured acetate.
