DRESS- This is a 3 piece outfit and has the following characteristics:

-To begin with, this dress' fabrics consist of a luxurious green flower embossed jaquard along with a pretty spray of pink & red flowers and green vines spread upon a bed of rich yellow with a red tapestry fabric for an underskirt. The base of the dress, sewn in the Rococo style-scoop neck and natural waistline- is constructed in slimming pattern with a lining of sturdy cotton canvas. The several yard skirt pleats into the waist allowing for numerous petticoats or paniers to be worn underneath. Now to describe the top of this dainty piece; lines of red trim adorn the inset of the bodice and skirt panel and runs along the entire edge of the green skirt. The cream lace collar starts from the red trim that goes around the neckline to the lace-up back and modesty panel.
