The arms are wrapped with blue cloth seeves below the elbow, and the doll wears a chemise and petticoat in cotton woven to resemble quilting, a separate pocket hung from a belt at the waist, a gown in pink silk with pink lace overlay, and a pair of knitted white stockings. The gown laces at the back, and has two lengths of woven pink silk with diamond-shaped pattern hanging from the shoulders. The wig is made of brown hair, and has a white lace and blue ribbon band and a matching choker. The doll has one blue silk garter.
