Fig. 2.—Lemon-colored satin robe, trimmed with a deep flounce of antique point lace, surmounted by roses placed singly at regular distances above the flounce; low tight corsage and sleeve, both trimmed with point. Head-dress of hair, disposed in thick masses of ringlets at the sides, and a low open bow behind; it is decorated with flowers, and a gold cross, ChÂle bournouss of white cashmere, lined with white satin, and bordered with a band of black and plaid velvet. Fig. 3.—India muslin robe; the skirt is trimmed with a closely plaited volan, which encircles the bottom of the border, mounts in the drapery style on one side, and is terminated by a noeud of muslin, similarly finished at the ends; a chef d’or head the volan. Corsage en gerbe and short full sleeve, both ornamented with chefs d’or. The head dress gives a front view of the one just described. Opera cloak of brown rep velvet, lined with blue satin: it is made shorter than the dress, of moderate width, and trimmed with three blue satin rouleaus, each placed at some distance from the other, and a light embroidery surmounting the upper one. A small hood, and a very deep lappel complete the ornaments. |
