(This is really two separate ideas for the theme: either a "classic" fashion, probably meaning a chiton, or a standard period evening gown. With so little detail as to the decoration there's lots of room for imagination here!)
Short blue and white dress made of cashmere or soft silk in classic fashion, or in gauze or twill as an evening gown, with stars and spheres for ornaments; star-spangled veil.
