Black linen plain cloth with horizontal stripes of red. The material is closely pleated and the pleats held in place by threads; on the top of each pleat is a pattern of tiny flowers embroidered in colored wools, arranged to form a lozenge design. At the bottom of the skirt are bands of red, white and blue cotton cloth; at the top, herringbone stitches in colored wools.
