Fas/iiojis for the Month 



511 



is called round half-length skirt. The flounce 

 is plaited above, and shows its reverse all 

 round. 



Robe of raw Tussor foulard. Jupon orna- 

 mented in the bottom by cerise velvet passed 

 through the hem of the foulard. Upper skirt 

 trimmed with same velvet, and a fringe of 

 cerise silk at the edge. It must be observed 

 that the skirt is much shorter in front. 

 Bodice with round basque, forming a bas- 

 quine, serrated at the waist by a sash of raw 

 foulard embroidered with taffeta. The 

 bodice is cuf straight under the seams below 

 the arms, and in consequence forms severiil 

 plaits at the waist. It is ornamented with 

 cerise velvet passed in the hem. Flat sleeves, 

 trimmed at the top and bottom by the same 

 velvet. Cerise velvet on the neck, sewn 

 under the small collar of the dress. Few 

 details are necessary for the cutting out of 

 this costume, because the small cosaque 

 gathered under the sash is very simple. It 

 has no small side, but a decided centre under 

 the ann suffices to diminish the excess of 

 plaits at the waist. 



The skirt is of the ordinary cut, such as I 

 have before described for the green robe, 

 which has only one flounce at least. The 

 second skirt is of the same cut, and shorter 

 all round, and solely ornamented by the 

 fringe. 



Bonnet of Coburg straw, ornamented with 

 black velvet and garland of red roses. 



Young ladies' toilette. Jupon of blue and 

 white striped sultana. Tunic of white alpaca, 

 decolletee squarely, ornamented with azure 

 lace and small braid, with a small dahlia of 

 white alpaca, embroidered wath azure blue, 

 The tunic is buttoned straight in front, with 

 short sleeves with guimpe underneath in 

 muslin, with flat plaits and small piped ruche 

 round the neck. Round white chapeau, 

 ornamented with sky-blue velvet. Round 

 the calotte small bow of blue velvet. Blue 

 boots, with mother-of-pearl buttons. 



Robe of mauve taffeta, first round skirt, 

 half-length, ornamented in the bottom by a 

 bias-piece to match, set between two rows of 

 satin lozenges, each ornamented with three 

 long pearls set r.cross the lozenges. Second 



skirt of a darker mauve, ornamented in the 

 bottom by a row of lozenges, and trimmed 

 with a heavy silk fringe with passementerie 

 top. This skirt rises with large plaits behind, 

 and is lost under the basque tunic of the body, 

 which forms behind a large bell plait, and 

 two others on each side of the first, which are 

 draped by degrees, and forming a half-length 

 tunic in front, rounded and joining the bottom 

 of the second skirt. Flat sleeves, and orna- 

 mented near the cuffs by a large flat ruche, 

 the middle of which is fastened so as to form 

 a cuff a la veille. The sash, round and plain, 

 is fastened behind by a bow of different 

 shades which compose the toilette. 



Robe of flame-coloured faille. First skirt 

 with a train trimmed with a volant mounted 

 with large plait, having underneath a bouillone 

 to match, and small ruche of black lace for 

 top. Rising tunic, without sleeves, in black 

 grenadine edged with a volant to match, the 

 top of which is fixed by a very small piece of 

 black taffeta, embroidered with black satin ; 

 the tunic, rounded in front, forms at the bot- 

 tom of the sides rounded j^arts, relieved by 

 bow^s of black grenadine, and forms a rather 

 long and ample puff behind. The bodice is 

 ornamented with slopes of a volant of grena- 

 dine, fastened by a bias of taffeta to match 

 with the trimming of the tunic, with the same 

 bias round the neck. Underneath, high 

 bodice, with flat sleeves of flame-coloured 

 faille, terminated by a double-headed plait. 

 Round sash, fastened on the side by a bow. 



Round robe in black faille, with high volant 

 mounted in piping in violet faille; flat bodice 

 of round cut, and flat sleeves. Mancini 

 mantlet in violet faille, edged with small piped 

 volant. The mantlet is with reverse, and 

 open en ca'iir on the chest, the ends square 

 and passed in the sash, rounded behind and 

 retained in the sash, with long Hungarian 

 sleeves edged with the same piped volant, 

 terminating this charming toilette. 



Chemisette in embroidered muslin and 

 Valenciennes, ornamented by a small jabot ; 

 sleeves to match. Head-dress relieved in 

 front with small coronet of muscat grapes of 

 rose colour.
