Design for woman's walking costume consisting of a coat with a long, flared skirt that dips lower in the back and is edged with fur around skirt and neck, over a matching skirt which falls to mid-calf and, like the coat, dips into a point at the back. The coat is caught in at the waist with a tasselled buckle. The woman wears a muff matching the fur trimming on the coat, and a toque hat, vaguely suggestive of the early nineteenth-century bicorn as worn by Napoleon, trimmed with a large fabric cockade and a sheer veil falling down over the eyes in front and further down in the back.
