A peignoir made with low-density cotton taffeta with a box neck and tapering body, slighly gathered on the back. The decoration, embroidered with shadow stitches, embossed satin stitches and drawn thread, is of plants with motifs in the shape of clovers arranged in rows over the entire garment and on the edge, a double garland with a wavy stem with cloves, pomegranates and leaves and two bands of Valencienne-style mechanical lace edging.
