The skirt is pleated and has and is topped with a lace peplum. The waist has a lavender sash of the lavender jacquard. She carries a lavender appliquéd purse.

The daughter wears a pink satin dress with puffed sleeves, trimmed in lace.. Her bloomers are of matching pink satin. A lavender satin ribbon sash sits at her waist. Her shoes are hand painted with a glossy white paint with lavender bows.
