The over-dress of this ensemble is more of a vest or caftan nipped in at the waist and secured with one pair of straps. This dress has upper puffed sleeves that re-emerged in the Napoléonic era. The under-dress features a distinct bodice with a basque waistline and under-skirt. The origins of the over-dress are hidden under the bertha and wide collar.
