A front-opening coat, or pelisse, with long sleeves and high collar was fashionable for outdoor wear. Similar examples are illustrated in fashion journals such as <i>La Belle Assemblée</i> and the <i>Lady’s Monthly Museum</i> of 1810. This example is made of shot red and blue silk with a decorative braid over the shoulder and side seams at the back.","physicalDescription":"This is mid-calf length, cut straight except for small pleats at the centre of the back of the waist where the matching belt is attached.  The fronts are cut without a waist seam and can wrap across to fasten with an inner silk tie, or to be held by the belt.  The most striking feature is the back bodice, a panel emphasized by braid trimming on shoulder and side seams.  It gets its distinctive shape from the sharp slope of the shoulder seams up to the collar and the slightly gathered head of the long straight sleeve.  The coat is lined in blue silk.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silk, lined with silk, trimmed with silk braid, hand-sewn","categories":[{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AV6209","2019MA7833"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES307271"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Coat","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1809","earliest":"1804-01-01","latest":"1813-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Miss M.
