A woman's gown of figured white silk, with brocaded small floral sprigs in black, blue and shades of green and pink. The gown is open at the front, with sleeves shaped and ending just below the elbow. The bodice and skirt are cut separately and seamed together at the waist. The bodice and sleeves are lined with bleached linen; the bodice fronts and back lined first, then seamed together. The back is cut in four pieces tapering to a point at centre back, with stitching in the lining at centre back for two bones (bones missing). The skirt is made of 4 widths of silk with a partial panel on each side of the front. The skirt is finely flat-pleated into the waist seam. Two broad pleats run diagonally from waist to hem on each skirt front, edged on one side with a pinked, van-dyked and box-pleated trim of silk. A narrower strip of pinked, van-dyked and box-pleated silk edges the neckline and sleeves.
