DescriptionA young woman wears a dress with a wide neckline and with pleating or gathering from each shoulder to the center front. Leg-o'-mutton sleeves are also pleated or gathered at the shoulder seam. Extra triangles of fabric at the shoulders and armholes may be intended to imitate the effect of a front-opening coat. A wide belt is fastened with a large buckle. The upper edge of an undergarment, probably a chemise, is visible at the neckline. The woman's jewelry consists of drop earrings. She also wears a broad ribbon tied around her head in a large bow.
