Cream-colored draped dress made of silk moire taffeta. It has three parts: bodice, skirt, and triple bow at the back of the waist. The collar and sleeves are richly decorated with fringe, ribbons and silk appliqués. The tailing of the skirt has a train, typical for that period, and the front part has a hidden pocket.

My friends and I have this Discord server called "Court AU," where we essentially make European royal/aristocratic OCs, and it's very silly and fun, so here's Crown Princess Coriolana of Sweden by marriage visiting Stockholm, Sweden for the first time when they first started dating (she probably shouldn't have decided to do this in the middle of winter but who am I to judge her)
and Ulrika did not do much better handling the climate in Florence, Italy a few years earlier LMAO
