The pierrot was a close fitting, low necked jacket with short tails that was popular in the 1780s to 1790s. This piece is made from a striped and floral silk brocade in delicate shades of oyster, green and peach.

This interesting 1920s bodice is one of my favorite pieces. Made of a jersey knit in a beautiful and rich paisley pattern, this bodice wraps asymmetrically to close with snaps over the left hip where a swag falls to approximately mid-calf length and is trimmed with silk fringe. The belled sleeves and neckline are trimmed with pleated navy chiffon. Shoulders are dropped and seamed over the upper arm. The hip yoke is lined with navy silk.
