I think this one is wearing spectacles! This pale green dress with it's purple and yellow flowers looks very pretty. It is an attractive combination of colours, often seen in the 1930's on all sorts of decorative items. The garlands of flowers are made from embroidery silks, loosely knotted to make the individual flowers.

すばらしいドレスです。薄い緑のドレスにパープルと黄色の花がとてもかわいい。このきれいな色の組み合わせは1930年代のあらゆる装飾品にしばしば見られるものです。花飾りは、シルクの刺繍糸をゆるく結んで花の形にしています。
