Gown is worn with a set consisting of bertha collar and tunic. Bertha has the form of "braces" that are sewn with fanciful ruche and decorated on the outer side with a teeth-shaped lace. From the front braces have similarly decorated bar and a front of crease delicate material. Short sleeves of the same fabric, creased in the middle and ending with a fancy ruche are attached to bertha. Additional decoration consists of bows - two on each sleeve and one in the middle of the front.

Tunic of the same fabric as the dress consists of two parts: a shorter upper and a longer lower. The upper one is cut in the front in the form of apron, draped on sides, with a kind of basque on the back. The sides are adorned with flat bows. Below them finishing of fancy ruche and three rows of flat teeth-shaped frills.
