A photograph of a young lady in her mid-teens. Fashionably attired in a mismatching day ensembles. She wears a white muslin cotton shirtwaist or "Garibaldi" blouse with zig-zag details at CF and shoulders. This is paired with a silk taffeta skirt, with polka-dots or figured. She wears a hoop under the skirt but has attempted to obscure this with petticoats, as the ridge is very faint. She wears a dark-colored silk taffeta Swiss waist with CF spiral lacing, and top edges trimmed in pleated self-fabric strips. Black bow at her neck. Hair is center-parted, but is still "down" in childish sausage curls. Cheeks tinted.Photograph Details
