Description
A woman standing on a terrace is wearing a tan dress with a flower pattern, lace frills, and leg o' mutton sleeves. The fabric is patterned with white daisies with black centers. Her sleeves have white lace ruffles at the elbows and wrists, and blue trim at the wrists. The bodice is styled like a jacket, with blue lapels, edged with white and lace ruffles, and a standing collar of blue, over a high necked white lace blouse with a wide ruffle below the blue sash at her waist. The fronts of the bodice below the lapels are cut into curves, and have two large buttons. She wears a small cameo at her neck. The skirt flares out gently, and has two bands of wide white lace ruffles, edged with blue ruched trim, above the hem. She is wearing a brown straw hat trimmed with flowers and blue ribbons. She is holding a bouquet of red flowers and a white a parasol trimmed with a wide lace ruffle and a blue bow.
