Poodle

(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.
