Morhanger, Paris, 1889-1892. Formal day jacket bodice and skirt constructed from ivory coloured figured silk overlaid with chiffon encasing strips of black velvet ribbon, with bands of black machine lace, and with a panel of vertically striped black and ivory velvet at the centre back forming a bustle shape.

Probably a half-mourning dress.  Figured silk overlaid with chiffon, velvet ribbon, machine lace, velvet.
