* decorated with pinked and pleated self trim and green chenille braid  

* the skirt can be polonaised with ties and buttons ( covered with the same silk) - or left flowing

*bodice closes in front - for historical accuracy, with pins (not included). The front  can overlap, or meet, depending on size, hooks and eyes were also used in the period, but will require an ideal fit - the new owner can add them later on (or have them added), if required.

* skirt closes with tapes at one side,  to be worn over a rump or a bumroll
