This jacket was worn with the matching skirt. The scalloped edges of the jacket and skirt are trimmed with bugle beads, as are the faux cuffs and medallion details on both garments. Round buttons are here only used for decorative effect. Both jacket and skirt are secured by hooks and press studs. On the front is a flower stalk formed by bugle beads, echoing the floral pattern of the silk fabric. Garments like these were fashionable in China in the 1920s, especially among women in their late teens and early twenties.
