Description
A rich green velveteen forms the basis for this gown. The full skirt is split at the centre front to reveal an underskirt of silver brocade. This brocade also lines the flared oversleeves, whilst the closely fitted undersleeves of silver satin come to a point at the middle finger. The front panel of the bodice is laced into the gown with black satin ribbon; ribbon ties also fasten the split oversleeve in three places along the length of the sleeve.
