Description	The woman on the left wears a pale pink, off-the-shoulder dress with a full skirt and a fitted bodice. The demi-gigot sleeves puff twice above the elbow and are form-fitting to the pointed, lace-edged cuffs. A wide, white, lace ruffle trims the straight neckline, and the skirt is decorated with a garland of two rows of pink, leaf-shapes, trimmed with white lace. The woman wears white gloves, flat, black shoes that lace up the ankle, and fishnet-patterned white stockings. Her hat is bright pink with an upturned brim decorated with two lace-edged, leaf-shapes. The crown is trimmed with white lace and pink, spiraling feathers. The woman wears small, round, dangling earrings, a gold cuff bracelet with a blue stone on each wrist, and a very long necklace of blue stones set in gold. Her companion sits in an armless chair with an open back and a yellow cushion. The woman's back is to the viewer, the better to display her elaborate, white hat. The crown of the hat is trimmed with white ribbons, bows, lace-edged ruffles, and a large, spiraling feather. The woman wears a green, off-the-shoulder dress with double demi-gigot puffed sleeves like her companion's. The neckline of the dress is trimmed with a large, white, lace ruffle, and the woman wears a long, gold necklace. Both women's shoulders are bare. Written in pencil in the upper left is "June 25, 1830."
Notes	Written on frame is "French June 1830". Written on back is "June 25, 1830. First fashion plate ever published in Godey's was a copy of this. June 25, 1830. see above".
