7 Torsos, Center One in Blue

Object/Artifact

First one in pink ball gown with draped lace bertha centered with a flower. Nest, a side view of a dinner headdress made on a band of lace frills and rosettes with one pink and one green long ribbon streamer. Next the back of a ball gown that offers the back view of the first coiffure. In center, a blue dress with white shawl worn with white triangular kerchief-like cap trimmed with blue ribbon loops. Next the back view, probably, of the last one wearing a gray dress with smooth pointed bodice and checked shawl. Bottom in a plaid day dress with short sleeves ending in triple pancake mancherons.
