Formal evening dress made of two fabrics: a bright smooth one and dark in tiny floral pattern (satin or taffeta). Bodice made of smooth fabric fastened with tucks has a front insertion of patterned fabric buttoned up in the middle with a row of small buttons in the shape of flowers. The whole insertion is surrounded by two-color pleat – fair part is visible in its entirety, dark part is visible only as a thin line on the outer side. Neckline of Diamonds (à la Raphael) is filled with a delicate ruffle finished with a narrow lace. Upright curvy line collar has the same finish as the front insertion.
Tight sleeve of half length is sewn on the natural shoulder line and has a bottom cuff with two teeth turned upward sewn the same way as insertion and collar. Below there are two narrow fair pleated ruffles and a third underside one; longest, plain, slightly pleated. Possibly it is made in the same way as a neckline ruffle. In addition, on the inside of the sleeve on the cuff two-color rosette is placed. Fair fabric skirt has at the bottom sewn-in five rows of narrow pleated ruffles. Side covers of patterned fabric are finished on the edges with dark color lace and long braided tassels.
