That jacket is fantastic! I almost wonder if it is a costume: it seems reminiscent of paintings of Harlequin and Columbine. Of course, patchwork is so practical and frugal too! I'd love to study it up close and see how it was constructed, and how worn it was.

Isn't it! I was thinking along those lines too- perhaps it was made for a masked ball. There isn't that much written about the construction, but it's made up from silk. Sometimes there hasn't been large enough pieces for a triangle, and in that case the triangle is pierced togther. No mention if the jacket was worn much, but a note that some of the triangles are are very worn and frail.
