Silk dress fabrics with a yellow cannellé ground and brocaded with coloured silks and silver thread with sprays of flowers. These include rosebuds in shades of pink and crimson and exotic blooms in blues, mauves and silver thread. The design is echoed in the ground of the fabric. The textile has a dropped, reversed repeat, taking up the entire loom width of 52 cm. The largest flower in each group is repeated twice in shades of blue and white and then twice in shades of mauve and white. Tabby with cannellé ground (floating for 5 shoots of the weft) brocaded with coloured silks, unbound, and metal thread, bound in twill. Silver filé thread, paired shoots and silver strip. Silver strip and silver thread (loosely S bound strip on a white silk core) used together. The metal threads are bound in 4/1 twill by a proportion of the cannellé warp threads. In some parts of the textile the brocaded silk threads have puckered the ground fabric, presumably because they were inserted too tightly by the weaver or because the selvages were under too great a tension in the loom. Originally skirt panels from a dress.
