Historical information

The jacket would have fitted a young baby up to three months old. It may have been used at a later date for dolls clothes because of the addition of hooks and eyes to the front opening of the jacket. These were sewn on with orange cotton.

Significance

It is a lovely example of an old lace-trimmed, hand-made baby jacket.
