This is going to be a dark grey gentlemans embroidered waistcoat of 1770ies. It is vey hard to trace pattern to dark fabric, so i used my rice paper, reversed the pattern and sticked it to the backside of the taffeta. Then i used white sewingthread and small running stitches to outline the whole pattern. This worked fine, but it took some time to do. Here is one pattern repeat of the pattern.
