a) Doll's court presentation gown (part of) of cream silk satin: bodice and train in one piece; boned, deeply pointed bodice closed at back with tape and eyelets; train falling from sacque-like arrangement at shoulders, lined with silk; the whole ingeiously one-piece. Lacking skirt.
b) Doll's sheaf of artificiall flowers, cloth, paper, wire and wax, in bouquet holder of lace-trimmed cane.
c) Doll's white 'ostrich' plumes for hair decoration, stitched to shape them into curves.
These three items are apparently linked - the train, feathers and flowers suggest that it was an ensemble for presentation at court. CH83.601.a-d may be part of it.
