Mrs. Simmons' dress has row upon row of ruching (gathering) on the bodice of her dress drawing the viewer's eyes up to her face & fine silk cap which is elegantly shaded by her silk parasol. A parasol not only shaded the carrier but also showed of hours of hand embroidery, each stitch carefully placed in colorful silk to recreate a bounty of flowers growing in a silken garden.
