The shoulders have yellow hessian pads on which have been painted with black, orange and white marks. The sleeves are flared and pointed to the elbow where they open wide and drop down to a point below the wrist. The area around the wrist has also been overlaid with yellow hessian fabric and this is also painted. At the stomach is another piece of yellow painted hessian and the skirt is ragged and approximately knee length. The skirt is painted with brown, black and white marks and there are brown and black paint marks all over the dress.
The back of the dress has the same paint marks as the front with a piece of yellow hessian at the top just by the neck. There are two popper fastenings on the back of the neck which seem to be the fastenings for the chiffon wings. There are four popper fastenings on the inside of the neck which seem to be the fastenings for the chiffon neckpiece. |
