Three-quarter jacket of suit of white twill cotton, decorated with round buttons and lace appliques. Model: tailored, with round cut-out front panels, which close against each other by means of hooks and eyes. The back is quasi-military cut and decorated with button and braid closure in the side seams and with a martingale with buttons. Long smooth sleeves. Along the V-neck and over the seams sewn on yokes, which are cut in the middle front with hollow shells in which six loose buttons stand in a double row. The bodice is decorated with long lace appliques of narrow to wide running, from the back out of the waist over the shoulder and to the front under the waist. On the back under the martingale two smaller ones. Lace: machine-made with thick relief and tulle ground, with series of C-scrolls as outline lines and with medallions and flower branches.
