Oval drawing on card. A caricature of two fashionable women showing the round-shouldered, slouching posture that was newly fashionable.

On the right, a backless (and apparently strapless) trained evening dress in pink paisley patterned fabric with a long grey train, trimmed with gold fringe and heavy upholstery cording and tassels, with gold coloured feathers in the model's hair.
