The Marine Jacket illustrated in Godey's Lady's, January 1862, is an example of how the jacket begins to work with the look. With this fashion, undersleeves and a chemissette give the look of a blouse.

Dress and jacket of dark poplin, trimmed with black and red braid. The jacket has a wide turned down collar, scalloped at the edge. The jacket is fastened at top and opens towards the bottom; it is close fitting behind and over the hips, and behind falls a short skirt scalloped at the edge and ornamented with braid. The sleeve, open at the end, is scalloped and trimmed in the same manner. The skirt has four rows of braiding, with the scallops turned downwards in two of them, and upwards in the others. A black sash, with numerous black and red loops. A chemisette puffed at he waist. Undersleeves puffed and tight at the wrist. --Godey's Lady's Book, January 1862, vol. 64
