Costume design for female dancer, made up of a white knee-length dress with yellow and black details. The bodice is decorated with yellow scalloping motifs and brown horizontal stripes, the short sleeves attached at the center by a yellow and brown brooch. On the shoulders are two yellow bows from which hangs a cape, falling behind the dancer's back. The skirt is made up of layers of scallop-edged fabric, some bordered with yellow and brown laces. A large tassel, made up of a red teardrop and brown hanging strips, hangs from the lower part of the bodice. Long, white gloves cover the hands, and the feet are dressed with white, high-heeled boots with yellow borders and vertical strips of yellow and brown rosettes running down the center. A headdress of shape similar to a turban, of white fabric with borders colored with yellow and brown, and a red brooch on the front, flanked by thin, brown feathers, adorns the head.
