A woman's court mantua, petticoat and stomacher of cream silk is woven with red-pink and yellow-orange floral sprays on a ground of self coloured cannele stripes between which are spaced rows of self-coloured feathers. The mantua is open at the front with robings to the waist and elbow-length sleeves with triple, scalloped sleeve ruffles. The bodice and sleeves are lined wth bleached linen; the sleeve ruffles with white silk taffeta. The mantua is made of three widths of silk. The centre panel forms the back and is shaped with stitched pleats. The wrong sides of the side panels are sewn the right sides of the centre back panel, so they fold back and meet at centre back. The robings are made of gathered silk and extend around the back neck, down the robings and around the waist to form a bow at the centre back. The ruchings and sleeve ruffles are edged with a fringe of white silk gimp woven with yellow and red floss silk and white and red floss silk knots.
The petticoat is made of 8 widths of silk, with triangular gores at the side seams and shaped for a fan-shaped French hoop. The sides of the petticoat and back waist are lightly pleated. The waist is bound with a silk ribbon. The top of the petticoat sides and pocket openings are edged with ruching trimmed with the silk fringe.
The stomacher is a rounded triangle of silk, unlined, decorated with ruching trimmed with silk fringe and arranged in curvilinear bands.
