Design on card of a bashful young woman wearing a long off the shoulder dress, with a black corset top and a full billowing skirt of floral fabric. She is also wearing a bonnet with a wide rim and a bow tied under her chin. She is holding a large striped hat box in one hand and two smaller packages in the other. Feint pencil marks suggest an alternative skirt shape.
