I covet the hat – I yearn for massive millinery!
I tried to read the caption; thought I saw ‘Creole’? The symbolism is rife in her outfit – making the lady all the more fascinating! (once saw a mid-19th c. photo of a lady advertising a dentist’s practice – there were teeth and forceps decorating her skirt.)

that sounds heavy! Yes, the caption describes it as Robe a la Creole, if I’m not mistaken…gotta take another look!
