Her husband's family was a very prominent Montreal family. Obviously, she had many occasions to wear formal ball gowns, and she bought much of her wardrobe in Paris from various couturiers.

The dress is full length with a panel at the back of the skirt that snaps closed around the waistline. The dress is lined in green silk and does up the back with a nylon zipper.
