A purple silk skirt embroidered with ornate floral patterns primarily in glinting gold metal thread. The garment flares from a narrow pleated waistband, with large stylized flowers, scrolling stems, and pineapple-shaped motifs repeating symmetrically across the lower portion. A wavy embroidered border runs along the bottom edge, finished with a thin gold trim at the hem.
