November 1824

EVENING DRESS

Dress of white worked barège: the corsage cut bias, and ornamented at the top, which is circular, by a folding of tulle, with a gold embroidered trimming à ľ antique, and a narrow tucker of fine blond: the front is also embroidered with gold, in the form of a stomacher; and a gold embroidered band round the waist corresponds with the bands that confine the long full sleeves, which are arranged in seven bouffants, and are fastened at the wrist with topaz clasps. The skirt has an elegant trimming composed of three tucks of barège, with bands of tulle cut bias, and embroidered in gold à ľ antique; beneath is a bouillonńe of barège, finished with a white satin rouleau. The hair is dressed in large and separate curls, or boucles à la Francaise; and on the right side is placed a cluster of rose-coloured passion-flowers, where a superb plume of white ostrich feathers is attached, and falls over to the left. Necklace and ear-rings of turquoise. White kid gloves and white satin shoes.
