This jacket is made from a silk shantung fabric which is a unique Liberty design. The design of the jacket is based on a riding jacket and has a deep, wide attached peplum a the back which moves with the wearer. The two piece sleeve demonstrates the fact that the sleeve takes on the natural curve of the arm. The sleeve has a grown on turn back cuff. The jacket was lined with peach Bremsilk and a plain orange skirt was made in shantung silk to finish the outfit. There was also a short sleeved top in crepe de chine in the same design as the jacket fabric. Speed tailoring techniques were used to make this garment, but a light touch was used to make sure that the soft quality of the fabric was not compromised in the construction. Worked buttonholes were used with the corded buttons.
