Dark green Riding habit by Charles Frederick Worth. Long, full dark green skirt and fitted long-sleeved dark green jacket with buttons down center front and high stand-up collar; the jacket appears to be made of a stiffer fabric than the skirt; the skirt appears to be gathered at the waist; there are triangular pieces of fabric at the back of the skirt at the waist; the mannequin is turned slightly to the right.
