Her fitted bodice, is set off by embroidery along the front left hand side yoke and shoulder blade, in a stylised diamond and tassel pattern. Her matching velvet covered buttons, draw the eye to the cinched in waistline, which is accentuated by a matching velvet belt. The asymmetrical cut of the jacket boasts a short peplum cut along the left hand side, which in turn is decorated with matching embroidery to the front and back of the jacket, to that along the yoke.
