The style of the neck, the length and the hem treatment fluctuated as the tastes changed from over-sized coats of the early 18th century to narrow tightly fitted coats of the late 18th century and onward.This is a charming example of 18th-century embroidery with animated insects and Asian-inspired fruit branches. The butterflies climbing the branches at the front hem and the grasshoppers sitting atop flower stems are particularly engaging.. Vest. French. 1780-90. silk
