(Costumes representing cards, dice, and games of chance were found in many fancy dress manuals. Here's one apparently inspired by the game of poker, complete with a fan made of cards and feathers. Click the image to enlarge.)
Box-plaited skirt of white with appliqué or painted cards and colored discs to imitate poker chips. Waist of white China silk, with high girdle of orange satin. Cards and poker chips arranged in the hair.
