Miniature mantle made from black satin trimmed with black glass motifs and figured velvet ribbon and black silk fringe.
Straight cut front and a fitted back, emphasised by bands of applied ribbon which run from shoulder to hem with a 'V' band at low hip level. A bead motif is stitched at the centre back and there is a band of similar trimming above the hem. There is a band of the velvet ribbon down each side of the front and there are turn back cuffs of the same. The fringe is stitched around the top of the cuffs and around the hem. The neck is high and trimmed with a frill of black machine-made lace to which, at the front, a made up black satin bow is attached. The mantle is lined with black silk ribbon only at the side panels of the back and faced with bright blue satin. Hand stitched. It fastens with a black metal hook and eye.
