Ball gown
The ball gown, by an unknown artist, is a cream-colored, floor-length dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. The dress features a square neckline and three-quarter length sleeves with a ruffled design. The sleeves are made of a lighter-colored fabric and have a gold-colored lining that is visible at the edges. A red flower arrangement adorns the left side of the bodice. The skirt is made of layers of gathered fabric with gold stripes and a gold fringe at the bottom. A long train extends from the back of the dress. The mannequin is white and headless, with white gloves on its hands. The background is a plain gray color.
