Long, fitted sleeves that fasten at the cuffs with hook and thread closures. Bodice fastens down the center back with hooks and eyes.

The fabric is truly stunning. The intricate detailing features a geometric pattern overlaid with flowers.

+++ Condition +++
Lovely condition overall for her age with some minor age-related wear and flaws to note:
- A few faint stains and some discoloration inside the lining of neckline/underarms
- Some loose hooks/eyes
- Small seam separations at the neckline and back of one arm
Likely best for study or display, but would be wearable with extra care for a photoshoot.
