Dress fabric of brocaded silk satin. Cream ground with naturalistic floral design including honeysuckle, holly and lilies. Selvedge on left side, 2 green and 1 white stripe. Incomplete pattern repeat in both height and width: by conjecture, the width of the silk would be approximately 21.75 inches.
When acquired the silk was in the form of a bag, 19th or 20th century in date, from which it was unpicked. It has traces of wear and heavy creasing along a line where it was gathered.
