Covered buttons have been added to the base of the side back seams. This original caraco pattern is fashioned after two extant examples, one in the collection of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and the other in the Wade Collection, Snowshill Manor, England. This pattern is designed to fit over my 18 th century strapless stays. This pattern will not fit a 20 th century figure wearing modern underwear. Caraco is illustrated as it looks when made of cotton chintz with a thin silk lining, worn with plain sleeve flounces, over a false rump, quilted petticoat and flounced silk taffeta petticoat.
Pattern is for caraco jacket only.
