Watercolour drawing, a design for a theatrical or masquerade fancy-dress ball costume. Full crinoline skirt and flared circular sleeves in white with Roman numerals from one to twelve around the hems, the corsage bodice in dark orange with long vandyke points representing the sun's rays running down over the skirt. A gold sun is embroidered on the front of the bodice and a matching headdress also represents sunrays. The short hemline of the skirt reveals orange and black ankle boots.
