A woman's gown of white silk with a flush pattern in the ground , brocaded with coloured silks with a floral design. There is no binding warp. The coloured pattern consists of small branches from which are sprouting several different kinds of flowers. The branch in each spray is tan coloured - the foliage emerald and pale green and colouring of the flowers alternates in each repeat. The colouring is predominantly either crimson or blue. The self coloured pattern consists of meandering scrolls, from which are hanging drooping stems of berries graduated in size. The selvedge has two order cords, four green and white stripes.

The gown is in the English (tight-back) style with elbow-length sleeves, shaped over the elbow. The gown fronts meet in the centre. The bodice and sleeves are lined with bleached linen. The pleats at the back are stitched down, extending from shoulder to hem. The skirts are finely pleated into the waistseam. The gown is made of 6 widths of silk; the skirts are lined with white silk taffeta.

The gown has been remade from a sack in the late 1760s or early 1770s. In the late 1770s, the robings were unpicked and pieced so the bodice meets in the front. Two bands of dark green ribbon around the neckline were added at this time. The sleeve ends were probably reconfigured at this time.
