About this work

In French douillette means soft, smooth, and comfortable. These wadded coats became fashionable in the Netherlands from the 1820s. This one has a matching ornamented belt at the back. The origin of the puffed sleeves, filled and gathered by means of vertical bands, is found in the 16th century.
