She is costumed in a jacquard kimono with a pale blue charmeuse gown, corseted to enhance the "S" silhouette which was widely popular at the time.
The gown is detailed with a beribboned trim, both throughout the bodice and at the hem of the skirt. She has a faux pearl and cameo choker at the neck and carries a hand mirror of silver.
