Wedding ensemble

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The wedding ensemble consists of a jacket and a skirt. The jacket is cream-colored with short, 3/4 length sleeves that have ruffled cuffs. There are 9 buttons down the front. The collar is short. The skirt is also cream-colored and appears to be made of silk or satin. It has multiple layers of ruffles at the bottom, with the bottom layer being a dusty rose color. There are two bands of gold-colored lace on the skirt, one near the top and one near the middle. A bustle is attached to the back of the skirt. The background of the image is a plain off-white color.
