The bodice front is embellished with a densely embroidered panel of floral forms and tree of life motifs in (predominantly) orange and dark red in chain stitch on maroon ground; appliquéd over the embroidery are four large, thick felt discs embellished with silver thread embroidery on red and multicoloured ground; two discs are located at the centre front and two are over the breasts.

The front neck opening is trimmed with silver braid; there is a button and loop made of twisted fibre at the centre back neckline. The skirt front is densely gathered onto the bodice and is constructed from bright pink silk textile which is embroidered over-all with brightly coloured motifs, arranged in horizontal rows. The back of the skirt is pieced from panels of black, pink and white printed cotton textile and an embroidered pink silk textile that is almost identical to that used on the skirt front. The sleeves are also made from pink embroidered textile (but the right sleeve is pieced with a panel of plain pink), and the cuffs are made from wide bands of silver ribbon. Each cuff is trimmed with a felt disc which is embellished with silver thread embroidery.

Loose fitting shirt or tunic made from densely embroidered white-on-white textile and embellished with panels of multi-coloured silk embroidery at the shoulder yoke (front and back) and wrists. The textile used to construct the shirt has been embroidered overall with matching light weight yarns in a variegated vertical stripe pattern, using a counted thread technique, before the garment was cut and sewn. The panels of embroidery on the shoulders and wrists are worked in multi-coloured silk thread, using a satin stitch, to form geometric patterns that are predominantly red, outlined with black or green. The simple round neck and front slit opening are trimmed with black cotton textile, piped with red and embellished with decorative machine stitching. There is a small ball button and loop at the neck. The sleeves are wide and straight. The garment hangs loosely from the shoulders and is A-line in shape. The hem is piped with red cotton textile; there are two side slits at the hemline.
