Fashions for August - Country or Seaside Dress, 1858. 'Round hat of leghorn, with a very broad brim, inclining downward on the forehead, so as to shade the face from the sun. The crown is encircled by a wreath composed of blue corn-flowers, mingled with grass. The strings are of very broad ribbon of two different colours - viz., dark blue and green; and under the brim of the hat, at each side, are full bouquets of blue corn-flowers and grass. The robe is of mohair, of a small chequered pattern. It has a double skirt, the upper one edged with a trimming consisting of blue and green ribbon plaited together. The wide hanging sleeves are edged with the same trimming, but of narrower width, and they are gathered up in front of the arm by a bow of ribbon of the two colours employed in the trimming. The skirt is gathered in at the waist in long plaits, and a waistband of narrow blue ribbon is fastened in front by a bow and ends of blue and green ribbon. Over the corsage is worn a fichu, or pelerine, of muslin, with three bouillonés, within which are inserted runnings of blue ribbon. The pelerine is edged with a trimming of scalloped muslin. Under sleeves of white muslin, drawn loosely at the ends with bouillonés and runnings of ribbon. Mittens of black filet'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
