Miniature marguerites of amber and white diamanté make the belt that encircles the waist at a normal line, and also the shoulder-straps. The train of rich old-gold chiffon velvet scintiliates with exquisite embroidery in a design mingling roses and thistles, and a lining of gleaming gold lamé is an appropriate finishing touch" (The Morning Post, 9 November 1929, p 8d).
