Yet Annot's garments were not only becoming, but even rich.

Her open jacket, with a high collar, was composed of blue cloth, richly embroidered, and had silver clasps to fasten, when it pleased the wearer.

Its sleeves, which were wide, came no lower than the elbow, and terminated in a golden fringe; under this upper coat, if it can be so termed, she wore an under dress of blue satin, also richly embroidered, but which was several shades lighter in colour than the upper garment.
The petticoat was formed of tartan silk, in the sett, or pattern, of which the colour of blue greatly predominated, so as to remove the tawdry effect too frequently produced in tartan, by the mixture and strong opposition of colours.

An antique silver chain hung round her neck, and supported the WREST, or key, with which she turned her instrument.

A small ruff rose above her collar, and was secured by a brooch of some value, an old keepsake from Lord Menteith.
