Promenade Dress

February 1816

PROMENADE DRESS

A morning dress, composed of the finest dark mulberry ladies' cloth, finished at the bottom of the skirt with a new-invented trimming, which has an uncommonly light and pretty effect. A plain high body, over which is worn a spencer made of velvet one shade darker than the dress, and ornamented with white satin ; the half-sleeve, which is composed of white satin, and finished with white silk ornaments, is particularly novel and tasteful. Head-dress, improved French bonnet, lined, edged, and trimmed with white satin, and ornamented with white feathers. Pointed lace ruffs. Mulberry kid sandals and gloves. The Roxburgh muff worn with this dress is composed of white satin and swansdown, and lined with white satin. This muff, which we may venture to recommend to our fair readers as a very elegant novelty, is just introduced by Mrs. Griffin, and is, from the beauty and delicacy of its materials, calculated only for the first style of promenade or carriage dress.
