Compare Or Like The Sun-Flooded Silks Of An 18th Century Boudir
"Or like the sun-flooded silks / Of an eighteenth-century boudoir." This is a metaphor. Sun-flooded silks is a soft and elegant material. By comparing the lady with it, I think that speaker means this lady is very graceful. Also, an eighteenth-century boudoir appear a long time, even in Lowell time. Therefore, I think she means that the lady is quite old. Moreover, she is also very luxurious because that is what an eighteenth-century boudoir are like, since they are only available for rich people in the 18th century. Since I didn't put a picture of a 18th century boudoir, I put a laces for the lady to tie her hair instead because it give me a noble feeling, like the 18th century boudoir.

In that particular era, people had to dress according to their position in society because, “distinctions between classes of clothes were affected by wealth and status”, (Oslen, 137).
