Wodehouse Jacket

The Wodehouse jacket is an early seventeenth century woman’s garment housed in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, USA. The jacket dates to 1610-1615 and appears to have been altered at a later period. It is made from an undyed linen (tabby weave), and decorated with silk and metallic threads, as well as spangles and bobbin lace made with a metallic thread. The design on the jacket consists of a daffodil scroll pattern.
