Paris fashions for November, 1864. 'Fig. 1. Morning Dress. This is altogether an "at home" costume, the colour of the dress being generally light, over a gay-coloured jupe, which is seen through the openings left expressly in the dress, buttoned in front and graduating buttons employed may be either in dull gold or in mother-of-pearl. Fig. 2. Ball Dress. White tarlatan robe, ornamented round the bottom of the skirt with two fluted flounces, surmounted by a straw- coloured silk uppermost jupe is provided with a deep lace trimming, surmounted by a bouillonné, through which a light blue ribbon is passed. There is a very wide dark-blue silk waistband, fastened by a bow behind. The décolleté corsage is covered with a bertha trimmed with lace and bouillonné. The coiffure is arranged in the latest style, the ornamentation consisting of a white and a blue feather, intertwined, and partly concealing the golden comb. Fig. 3. Walking Dress. The robe and paletot are in stone- coloured foulard, trimmed throughout with violet silk ruching. The only ornament on the skirt is a narrow fluted flounce. Small straw bonnet, with a rose between two black velvets, is the tour-de-tete; violet silk bow and ends'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
