Description
A woman poses in promenade fashion suitable for the sea coast. She wears a yellow bonnet with red dots, green ribbon, and a lace veil. Her lace overdress extends slightly past the shoulders with ruffles at neck, shoulders, and hem. The overdress reaches to her hips and ends in two long points with tassels. She wears a yellow, full length dress with long sleeves. The sleeves have small, white lace ruffles at the cuffs and are trimmed with narrow green ribbon. The bodice has lace detailing with a ruffle at the neck and a small brooch at the center front. Green ribbon trims the square neck and is tied in a small bow at the center. The yellow skirt opens at the front and the sides are tied together at even intervals with nine visible green bows. The hem of her dress is trimmed with three rows of green ribbon. The layer underneath the yellow dress is white. She wears a pair of brown gloves and matching brown shoes.
