Toilette de Visite, in drap de Lyons of the new shade termed "Vin de ;...Over the robe is worn a fichu Marie-Antoinette of black chapeau of black lace is trimmed with a white 'Fig. 2. Toilette de Promenade. Robe à queue and entablier in mauve-coloured taffeta, trimmed all round with a satin robe is made short in front and open at the sides; so as to show the deep ruche of a white cambric jupon. Fig. 3.

Robe de Bal, consisting of a jupe of white tulle, with four deep puffs at the bottom, over which is worn a black lace skirt, ornamented with large double scollops round the edge. Smaller scollops form the basques of the corsage. A rich ornament of pearls loops up the lace skirt at each side, and a similar ornament is worn in front of the low bodice. The bracelets are of gold, studded with pearls, as are the bands of the coiffure. In lieu of a chignon, a cluster of long curls falls from the top of the head, within a few inches of the waist'.
