She arrives with the unmistakable theatricality of a young society visitor, her enormous sleeves making an entrance before she has said a word. There is something cheerfully extravagant in the way her finery seems to take up the whole room.

Princess Irína Vasílevna appears briefly as a young visitor to Márya Dmítrievna. Her strikingly oversized sleeves make her memorable, turning an ordinary call into a small display of fashionable excess. The book offers no further account of her life or development.

Description

Princess Irína Vasílevna is identified as a young woman, but her features, coloring, hair, and build are not described. Her most distinctive visual detail is her fashion: enormous sleeves, so wide they are compared to barrels. They give her visiting dress a conspicuously extravagant silhouette. No further details of her appearance are specified.
