The garment shown here is a white dressing jacket by Paul Poiret. The jacket features a high collar and long sleeves. The upper portion of the garment has intricate white stitching forming a diamond patterned design. A gathered seam runs along the chest area, below the decorative stitching. A vertical line of stitching runs down the front center. The bottom hem has a simple stitched design. The garment appears to be made of a lightweight fabric and is displayed on a mannequin.
