The letters show how the pieces are put together. The costume is made of self-colored cashmere and plaid goods, with the prevailing color to match the plaid material. The skirt has three knife-plaited flounces all round. The other knife-plaitings are arranged between the front and back of the tunic, filling up the sides. This is done after the tunic is draped. The corsage is of plain material, and piece No. 5, the plastron, is of the plaid. The left side of the bodice, which is cut out in squares, buttons over the plastron, which is attached to the other side of the bodice. The fullness of the postillion back is laid in plaits, folding under, as seen in the engraving. Very small buttons are used on the bodice, two in each square.
