Plate with an illustration of a black-and-white gown, part of the 39th issue of the "Journal des dames et des modes", published on June 20, 1913. The illustration shows a woman wearing a black-and-white dress made up of a knee-length, white shirt with ruffles on the neck and the elbow-length sleeves, under a hip-length vest made up of black and black-and-white vertically striped fabrics, featuring a black belt tied around the waist and fastened with a brooch made up of a large, white rose with two green leaves, and an ankle-length, narrow, black "Hobble" skirt. She wears a striped, black-and-white hat with a black ribbon that holds it on her head, decorated with a white rosette and three long, thin, black feathers, and high-heeled, white boots with thin, black interlacing lines. One of her hands is covered with a long, white glove and holds the other glove and a small, black purse; the other hand reveals her skin, a ring with a large emerald and a ring with a white pearl, and a watch around her wrist, and holds a white parasole, decorated with black lines and dots and tied with ribbon with hanging tassels on its ends. Her face is heavily made-up, with intense, green eyeshadow, pink blush on her cheeks, and pink lipstick.
