EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a woman's jacket or Spencer from Northern Ireland, specifically Belfast, dating back to the early 19th century (c. 1810-1814). Made from silk, cotton, wood, and metal, this hand-stitched garment showcases exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The bright yellow silk fabric is woven with a slight rib texture and adorned with cream openwork braid along the high standing collar and cuffs. The bodice features delicate cream silk thread buttons down the center front, adding a touch of elegance to the piece. The raised waistline is accentuated by a belt attached at the center back, creating a flattering silhouette for the wearer.
This jacket exemplifies 19th-century fashion trends with its tailored fit and intricate embellishments. It offers us a glimpse into the sartorial choices of women during this period in history. Displayed at Glasgow Museums in the UK, this garment not only serves as a beautiful example of costume design but also as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage associated with Glenwood in Northern Ireland.
Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such garments and the stories they hold about past traditions and lifestyles.
