Cord quilted jacket made to match the cord quilted wedding dress, made from silk grosgrain by Mrs Van Heyst-de-Boer for her niece’s wedding in 1954. The Dutch born maker travelled to England just a few weeks before the wedding to make this dress. The fabric was purchased in London from John Lewis, and the sequins were a later addition to convert the dress and a matching jacket into evening wear.
