Translation of the Chinese text: "[continuing from the right leaf, 2004.19.1.1.43]...The middle of the vest has pleats. The lower part of the vest is ornamanted with eight moving-dragon motifs. The back of the collar attaches a hanging with bright yellow ribbons adorned with pearls and gems as fitting. Satin, gauze, lined and unlined garments are worn according to the season. The court vest of the imperial consort and the imperial heir apparent's consort is the same."
