The V neck has a large square sailor style collar, with two self covered ball buttons on either side just below the collar ends. At the V point there is a beaded floral brooch with tassels. The sleeves are loose fitting, trimmed with eight buttons at the forearm and gathered to half a cuff. The centre front of the bodice has a bust dart on either side, and cuts off at the waist. Here a belt attaches around the sides, trimmed with four buttons at either side front and back. The bodice's ivory silk lining is not pleated, and it is not attached at the bottom. It closes at centre front with two slide snaps. On the back of the jacket, there is a large pleat on either side. Centre back is fully pleated, and the pleats are sewn down from the neckline to underarm level. At the waistline, there is a narrower band of fabric that joins the side belts together and holds the pleats in place. The back of the jacket extends to the hips, and the sides extend several inches further and each end in a point. The skirt, made with six gores, falls smoothly over the hips. It has a pleated ruffle at the top and a waistband reinforced with a large grosgrain ribbon on the inside. The centre back and centre front are pleated from the waist to hem, the pleats sewn down to the end of the hips. Each side is trimmed with buttons spaced evenly from the waist to hem. The skirt closes at the right side back with slide snaps and hooks and eyes on the grosgrain.

There is a slight gather between the pin tucks and side back seams, from the panel under each arm. The sleeves are three quarters in length.

The skirt has a sailor front opening with six thread covered buttons on either side of a centre front panel. Just past hip level, there are two accordion pleats on either side of the panel. There is a gore on each side and one on the back that flare out slightly; each has the floral and ribbon embroidery. On the back gore, there is a pleat on either side at calf level. The hem is ankle length.

Beneath this on the front, there are two rectangles joined by a faggoting stitch. On either side there are four round black velvet buttons, and on either side of that there is a black ruffle that extends over the shoulders to the back waist. Attached to the ruffle is a band of black lace, and on centre front below the rectangles there is a large appliquéd piece of black embroidered lace. The sleeves are fairly fitted. They are ruched and taper down to a slightly more fitted cuff, edged with gathered ribbon and a band of lace. The waist is at natural height, without any cinching. It is defined by a black ruffle on either side and a band of lace at the front and back. At centre back there is a black appliqué that is the same as the one on top of the waist at centre front. There are also three pin tucks at either side of the centre back, extending from the appliqué on the overskirt. At the centre front of the overskirt, there is a black ruffle that extends to its hem. At the hem, the ruffle curves down on either side front and angles into two square shapes at either side back. The underskirt has six gores; at calf level, the main dress fabric is attached. The bodice closes up the centre back with hooks and eyes. Beneath there is also a lining that closes separately with hooks and eyes at the centre back.

The sleeves are heavily gathered at the sleeve cap, creating large leg o' mutton sleeves. They taper down to the wrists, which also have some of the same embroidery as the centre front bodice, just before the cuffs. The cuffs do not have an opening. At the back of the bodice, there is no decoration. The waistband consists of a twisted satin ribbon with a bow at centre front and centre back. Inside, the bodice is lined with beige linen.
