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 (circa 1810-1814). Made from silk, cotton, wood, and metal, this hand-stitched garment showcases exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The vibrant yellow silk fabric is woven with a slight rib texture and adorned with cream openwork braid on the high standing collar. The bodice features a center front opening with delicate cream silk thread buttons, while the full-length sleeves are accented with cream braid around the cuffs. The raised waistline is complemented by a belt attached at the center back. This jacket exudes elegance and sophistication typical of 19th-century fashion trends. It offers a glimpse into the sartorial choices of women during that era and reflects the social status and cultural influences prevalent in Glenwood, where it was likely worn. Displayed in Glasgow Museums in the UK, this piece serves as a reminder of our rich sartorial heritage and provides insight into historical costume design. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
