The silk skirt and sleeves are mounted on silk organza, all pink material is silk duchess satin. All frills and froth are hand scalloped or dagger, hand pleated and 95% of them are then hand sewn onto the garment. All of the lace used had to be altered, either hand painted, or cut out as it was sold as a lace fabric. All of the seams in the bodice are authentically hand scalloped and hand stitched over. All seams in the skirt are simply hand scalloped.

This is a theatrical interpretation of a 17th C. mens traveling costume designed by David Collis.

The stripes on the waist coat are painted ribbon to give the same feel as the brush strokes in the design, and costume is lightly broken into.
