The braid and tassels add a further military touch, and the shorter, freedom-giving skirt is of particular interest. The deep navy is typical of the plain, dark and dull colours worn during those sombre times. The jacket is lined with white silk and has the label 'Marshall & Snelgrove, Oxford St W'. James Marshall co-founded the firm's London shop in 1838. Branches were later established in Scarborough and Harrogate (a spa town and seaside resort respectively) in Yorkshire.","physicalDescription":"Jacket and skirt of blue silk taffeta and blouse of blue chiffon.\r\n\r\nThe jacket is hip length with a gathered basque. It fastens down the centre front with hooks and eyes, braid bands and tassels suggesting a frog fastening. The collar is wide and square cut. The sleeves are long and gathered at the wrist with a pointed flared cuff. Stitched inside is a gathered machine-made net frill. Lined with white silk and with the shop label that forms a hanging loop at the centre back neck.\n\nThe skirt is flared from a pointed basque at the hips and with a narrow gathered panel at the centre back and front trimmed with silk braid and tassels. There is a wide boned petersham waistband fastening at the centre back with hooks and eyes. There is a short lining attached at the waist of black silk.\n\nThe blouse is trimmed with matching silk and mounted over with white silk. Cut full and gathered at the waist. The sleeves are long, hem stitched to the body of the blouse at the shoulders, and bound with silk at the wrist where they fasten with press studs. The neck is medium low and round, and bound with silk with a mock key-hole opening in front. There are ribbon bands stitched over the shoulders and forms a sash.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Marshall & Snelgrove Ltd","id":"A6200"},"association":{"text":"retailer","id":"AAT25246"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silk taffeta, chiffon, machine-made net frill, lined with silk, silk braid, boned, petersham","categories":[{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Womenswear","id":"THES49044"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AV6040","2006AW8570","2006AW8569","2006AW8568","2006AW8567","2025PH9548"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES307677"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES307677"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES307677"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Jacket","id":""}],[{"text":"Skirt","id":""}],[{"text":"Blouse","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1916-1918","earliest":"1916-01-01","latest":"1918-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Mrs M.
