Coat

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This coat is a nice example of special occasion children's attire, expressing the style of the day. The elaborate embroidery is especially beautiful. The condition of children's clothes is important because they tend to get heavy wear, but this coat has been preserved, perhaps not even worn.
