18th-Century Purple Silk Jacket, Made in One Week

Posted on March 19, 2011 by Trystan

I wore this jacket with a black silk petticoat already in my closet, a purple mini-tricorn I purchased a few years ago, and various vintage and new accessories.

Photos were taken at Colonial Williamsburg. More photos from this Williamsburg trip on Flickr.
