Please help date 2 antique items!

[NByers]

I have these two antique items and I know they are obviously early 19th century...can anyone help me pin down a decade for each?? Sometimes I have trouble with Victorian/Edwardian and noticing the differences :-\

Does anyone have any thoughts on the cape?? Any dating info would be great!

The blouse is late 1910s - the coat looks to be a dressy jacket c. 1908-10, but its hard to tell without handling.

Stunning items, especially the jacket!

The Jacket is more A Line so it was obviously loose fitting and would fit over a large skirt...it's a stunning wool/cashmere blend possibly with an ivory silk lining...when I'm looking at it the details do convey a military inspiration. Does this help? I did sone readership also on B Altman and Co... I'm sure that this cape/jacket was VERY expensive in its hay day

This jacket has both the antique touches, and bit of a modern look to the construction. I think it may be a morning jacket, meant to be worn to/at at the breakfast table and for morning activities in the home.

The details of the jacket/coat are fabulous!

Haha! I love the drooling face! Would I be a morning jacket if its made of heavy wool? I put the cape/jacket on and it's warm with a silk lining...what time period would it be from?
