The hem around the neck and the bottom edge of the garment is decorated with semiprecious stones. Chapeau and pouche are made of velvet and embroidered by hand. Chapeu is decorated with peacock feathers. The garment is complemented by a velvet belt with silver segments and golden lilies. A dagger with Czech garnets and a blue sodalite on the top hangs on the belt. The cloak is made of purple brocade.
