Dress fabric of silk brocaded with silk and metal thread Cream warp-faced ground. The metal thread is silver strip close S-wound on a yellow silk core. Floss silk has been used for the brocading. The pattern is formed by off-set rows of large vertical floral stems, each growing from a pink mound with green and pink leaves, three pink and light and dark blue flowers and two pink buds. Some leaves form a sort of knot with two loose ends - see the blue and silver one]. Broad outlines have been worked in metal thread. Each motif is 19 cm tall and alternates with a small spray of three flowers.
