Dancing Dress – 1809

A woman in a dancing dress. She wears a gold diadem headband, gold, dangling, hoop earrings, a gold necklace, and two gold bracelets. She wears a pair of white gloves trimmed with gold, her dress has short sleeves, trimmed with gold cord and the neck is trimmed with the same gold cord. A gold cord circles the empire waist and is tied in a bow at the center front, with tassels reaching her knees. The sheer top layer of her dress floats over a simple, white under layer. The bottom of the sheer layer is trimmed with gold cord. The dress is ankle length. She wears white stockings and a pair of white, flat shoes trimmed with gold.
