The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored long-sleeved cropped top with ruffles on the chest and sleeves. The top has a round neckline and is made of a shiny fabric, possibly satin or silk. The sleeves are long and narrow, with gathering at the cuffs. The top is cropped just above the waist, with a row of ruffles around the bottom edge. There are two rows of ruffles on the chest, one on either side of a V-shaped section. The background is a plain beige color. Spencer by Mary Phelps Jacob.
