The coordinating Zouave jacket is made with a solid color cotton fabric and when possible lined with the dress fabric.

The jacket can be left plain or trimmed with cotton braid, wavy braid in the seam or on the jacket or fancier gimp braids. The jacket closes with a single hook and eye.
The option of being able to wear the dress with or without the jacket makes this set a great choice.
