Finely dressed woman in winter attire. She has all the bells and whistles. Day dress of fine wool. She wears a hoop underneath her skirt. Bodice has CF point, and buttons up CF - look like faux buttons. Bodice is tailored to the body. Skirt appears to be box pleated underneath. She wears over this day dress a wool mantle with (detachable?) wool collar of mink. Her bonnet has a very high crown - peak '60s vibes. Filled in with frilled fabric lining and artificial flowers. Very wide dark ribbons tied under her chin with plenty of additional length so the ribbons flow over the wool mantle. She wears tight leather gloves and sports a double golden chatelaine chain! Lastly, she carries a mink muff of generous size, complete with two silk tassels on cord hanging from the muff because, why not?Photograph Details
