Silk brocade separate sleeves are pined to the short dress´s sleeves. A scarf elongated to the point at the back is inserted to the neck opening. The headwear consists of transparent veil and a fringed band. Below the waistline is a red belt with hand-made gold embroidery "De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum".
