The bodice is front-opening with 12 worked eyelet holes on each side below and a dark green silk ribbon for lacing, and eyelets at the shoulder, each with a pale green silk satin ribbon with brass aiguillettes. Two darts shape each front. There are 8 tabbed skirts below the waist and sleeves of cream silk satin, the seams open at the front and back, shirred into a deep cuff below reaching to below the elbow.
