Skirt of three panels of shiny red brocade with embroidered designs. The designs are embroidered flowers with dull centres and leaves near the lower edge. The skirt is open at the back. The panels are pleated and inserted into a band of red shiny fabric woven with a floral pattern and lined with loosely woven off-white cotton. The pleats carry through to the edge of the band on both sides. The upper edge of the band is scalloped with the points of the scallops meeting two red shoulder straps. At both ends of the band are sewn narrow ties of red fabric, roughly machine stitched with white thread. The inner lining of the panels is red nylon mesh, with an interfacing of coarser white nylon mesh.

Woman’s backless blouse with plain bodice, pieced from blue, yellow and red cotton broadcloth, and decorative elbow length sleeves, pieced from panels of embroidery and jacquard-woven ribbon. It has a V neckline in the front and ties at the centre back neck and at the waist with self-fabric ties. The embroidered panels on the sleeves are embellished with metal sequins and mirrors. There is a small pocket on the lower right side of the blouse.

Maroon velvet surcoat heavily ornamented with gold. The woman’s coat has a fitted bodice and full, calf-length skirt. The bodice and skirt are almost entirely covered with scrollwork embroidery, worked with metallic gold cord and metallic gold thread, except for a plain panel on each side of the bodice front and at the centre of the bodice back. The bodice is sleeveless in the front; there are long, flat panels that suggest sleeves, attached at the shoulders and back arms; these are worn crossed and fastened with hook and eye at the centre back below the waist. The edges of the bodice meet at centre front; although there are eight decorative buttons on each side of the centre front opening of the bodice, there is no provision for fastening. Buttons are made of metallic gold thread wrapped around a wooden core, trimmed with small coral beads. Smaller buttons at the bottom edge of "sleeves." There are pockets on each side of the skirt, just below the waist. All edges are bound with patterned silver ribbon and five rows of heavy gold cord. The garment, which is very stiff and heavy, is entirely interlined with animal skin, which supports the weight of the metallic embroidery. Bodice and skirt are lined with orange cotton damask; sleeves are lined with striped black, white and yellow cotton broadcloth.

Armour has two rectangular panels joined at the top by a blue band with long ties. The panels have metal wire within the bottom seam, causing the lower corners to turn upwards. The panels have blue fabric with a brown pattern. The upper portion has a beige band across the front, with a perpendicular band and keyhole opening. The lower portion has five rows of narrow black metal bars overlaying the fabric. The back is lined with coarse blue fabric.
