Setting the fashion in 1860. LADIES' FASHIONS FOR JANUARY 123607779?searchTerm=fashion&searchLimits=l-state=Queensland|||l-decade=186 ) The favour with which plaid has been received is decideldy diminishing. Still the collets of plaid velvet, with fringe to match, are worn, although now rather an exceptional than a reigning fashion as formerly. They are more generally made of cloth of milled flannel, in patterns of wide black checks upon a violet or green ground, with chenille fringe of two colours.
