The stand-up collar of this silk velvet evening cloak probably designed by Lucile (Lady Duff Gordon) is formed by three rows of ruching which draws the malleable fabric into soft gathers around the neck. High backed, the collar curves gently down at the front where it fastens with a single hook and eye and its base is trimmed with plump, pink satin rose buds with three buds at the back and six smaller versions at the front.
