I believe I read somewhere that some of the quilted jackets are cut from quilted petticoats. One quilted garment which was Not, is the beautiful sacque at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a blue (iirc) gown with the quilting panel running the length of the pleats. It looked glazed, like the calamanco found in eighteenth quilts. Or otherwise moderately shiny. It was not in the relevant catalog (an exhibit of costumes related to seasons), and I cannot find it in the Met website. :( But it exists!
