This floral jacket has ‘scalloped’ cuffs and hem. It was made for a yellow sleeveless cheongsam worn by the late Datin Aw Cheng Hu, daughter of Mr. Aw Boon Par. Mr. Aw was a philanthropist best known for introducing the heat rub, Tiger Balm. The cheongsam and jacket were made by Shanghainese tailors with fabric bought from High Street. Datin Aw also had a matching set of jewellery for each cheongsam.
