Pelerine
1830s pelerine, muslin with whitework embroidery.
A pelerine (from French "pèlerine" (pilgrim), is a cape-collar covering the shoulders.[1] Layered muslin pelerines were popular in the 1830s as an option to drape over the top of the large sleeves fashionable at that period.[2] Along with tippets, they helped emphasise the fashionable width of the sleeves and the shoulderline of the decade.[3]
