Hi

I picked this up today at an Estate Sale. Not really sure on the age. It looks old but I am no Antique clothing expert.

Could you help me on aging it and how you'd wear it? ie. With what and for what occasion. It's very small but I don't believe its for a Child.

Hello,

I will say that the lace is beautiful and a lovely example of embroidered lace. Without actually handling the item in person, it can be difficult to be accurate on a piece like this, but I think it was once part of something else such as a dress or gown. Not really a jacket, per se. Is the tape along the bottom original to the garment? It looks as if it may have been added as a way to re-enforce the hem. It is hard to get a good idea of the shape of the upper arm. Could you take a photo of the garment laying flat with the arm more clearly defined? The piece has elements of the early 'Teens era, circa 1912 -1914, but also elements of an earlier time.

It is lovely lace and looks much like some early 19th century laces I have.
