Green silk with a V-neck at the front and a slightly rounded neckline at the back. It is made from four pieces of material: two at the front and two at the back. The front panels are cut into two pieces: the body and tails. The front, which is fitted to the breast, extends in a noticeable point. The tails are joined to the waist along one seam, and to each other at the side pleats.

There are wooden buttons covered in the same fabric on either side of the front panels, near the waist, with a spiral of gold braid piping around them where they fasten the front. Two round, false pocket flaps decorate the front tails. The back, with its central seam, extends into a noticeable point and the tails are joined at the waist, leaving a central opening. The elbow-length sleeves end in a large turned-up cuff decorated with two pleats that are sewn horizontally. The entire dress coat is lined with natural silk. The inner edges of the front panels are reinforced with a green satin lining.
