This white day outfit was designed for the Summer collection of 1907. The skirt is decorated with a striking motif of vitruvian scrolls and the high waisted jacket is tied with a red clasp. The model is wearing an elaborate black hat with blue feathers on it.

The word 'Gazouillis' is inscribed in the top right hand corner. This is the title of the outfit and the name by which it would have been referred to by the design house when taking orders.
