(For ladies who want to dress up as a dog, complete with puppy ears. One really wishes they had included an illustration for this one!)
Skirt of black tulle covered with small ruches to represent the curly coat; corselet bodice of black velvet. Silver bracelet on the right arm; a collar of red satin ribbon. The hair frizzed; a couple of black velvet ears lined with pink silk at the side.
