- Probably made as a young girl and later replaced by more intricate designs as she came from Sib Song Panna in southern China. Cloth could be from there. The jacket is made of blue cloth with side vents lined with blue and red piping. The waist hem is undecorated, and the hem of the sleeves has blue piping. The arms of the sleeves are decorated with red, green, white, yellow, and blue cloth, in addition to blue, purple, white, turquoise, and yellow-orange embroidery in geometric designs. The sides and back of the body of the jacket are also embroidered with geometric designs in white, purple, blue, yellow-orange, turquoise, and green threads, and white cloth piping. The fabric is laid out in overlying tiers of cloth.
