A second, loose, over-sleeve made of white lace hangs over the pink puffs to the elbow. The woman wears a gold, cord belt which hangs down in front with two loops and large, ornate golden tassels. A matching line of cord runs parallel to the hem at the knee. The woman wears white stockings and pointed, black, lace-up slippers. Her elbow-length gloves are white, and she carries a lacy white handkerchief and a small, closed, gold fan. Her hat is black with a wide, rigid brim, trimmed with black bows and several large, white plumes. She wears dangling, gold earrings. The woman on the right wears a dress to attend a private concert. It is white with puffed sleeves and a wide, square neck trimmed with two pointed, white flounces. The woman wears a white belt with a gold buckle, and her skirts have a row of gold beads at the knee. She wears elbow-length white gloves, white stockings, and pointed, black slippers which lace up at the ankle.
