content: Fashion illustration featuring two women wearing long, white dresses. The woman on the right is partially turned around so that her back is visible to the viewer. A scarf or shawl with a paisley pattern in peach, yellow, and red is draped around the top portion of the dress. Her waist and the base of her skirt are lined with light purple and white trim. Her left arm, covered in a long, white glove, rests at her side and holds a small, white fan. A white bonnet and small, purple flowers sit on top of her brown curls. On the left, another woman wears a white dress with green zig-zag detailing along the top, waist, and bottom. A pattern featuring repeating green plants also appears along the bottom. A light orange scarf is wrapped around her neck, and a long, yellow shawl is draped around her. She wears yellow shoes, and her head is covered with a pink bonnet with lace trim. A small white earring consisting of a circle and teardrop shape is shown as she looks towards the woman on her right.
