careless bows the deep girdle which merely rounded down a little at the front was of finest white kid and closed with a silver buckle the short eton coat was entirely of the openwork embroidery unlined and worn over a blouse of mull to match the skirt the jacket which other wise would have hung straight was also gathered or drawn in below the bust by a half inch black velvet ribbon run through the openwork embroidery and a butterfly bow of wider black velvet ribbon finished the front where the narrow ribbon ends met the sleeves large single puffs of the embroidery had similar velvet lac ings at the elbow that gathered the scalloped edges at the bottom into three inch ruffles both the sleeves and the jacket were cut from wide embroidered and therefore had embroidered scallops as a finish at their edges the eton jacket did not extend over the shoulders but the back and the front were held in place by two straps of half inch velvet rib bon going over each shoulder one of these straps fin shed or rather con cealey the others some two inches from the sleeve strips held the body of the jacket in place in the front revere cut from the mull the shape 0 a shawl cut diagonally
