Illustration with a design for a striped linen dress and a velvet cape, part of the 66th issue of the "Journal des dames et des modes", published in Paris on March 20, 1914. The illustration features a woman wearing a long, tubular dress with Empire waist, colored with blue, white, orange, green and black vertical stripes, with semi-transparent white sleeves that end in striped cuffs of the same colors as the body of the dress, and pleats on the breast, under a gray velvet cape with black borders, tied around her neck with a thin orange ribbon with hanging tassels. She wears a yellow, round hat on her head, with a black ribbon and small, orange pom-poms, and two thin, long, black feathers on the front, and cream-and-orange boots. She stands on a green pasture by a small tree with purple blossoms, surrounded by small, light blue flying butterflies.
