Plate with an illustration of a costume for a garden party, part of the 38th issue of the "Journal des dames et des modes", published on June 10, 1913. The illustration shows a woman wearing a green vest with gray fur on the borders and a thin piece of fabric with blue, red, yellow and green stripes tied around her waist, over a white satin shirt with long sleeves and gray fur cuffs, and a long, narrow, yellow skirt with buttons colored with blue, red, yellow and green stripes, and gray fur on the border. She wears a yellow hat with a striped band that matches her waistband, and black, high-heeled shoes with white buckles, and holds two white canes on her hands. A hoola hoop, colored with white and green diagonal stripes, flies above her, and she seems to be in a garden setting, walking on a sand-colored path surrounded by green grass.
