The black overdress is made of plain black homespun cloth in the front and tightly ribbed fabric in the back, with added green and red bands on the bottom. Woven and embroidered bands are at the waist and on the suspenders. There is a short green and black jacket with embroidered bands at the cuffs, bodice, and shoulders.
