Fashions for September, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Fashions for September, 1858. We may here describe a few dresses worn during the fetes at Cherbourg by ladies of distinguished rank. A much-admired dress consisted of white chine taffety, with three flounces each, edged with a cordon of Parma violettes...With this dress was worn a shawl of white lace, and a French chip bonnet, trimmed with bouquets of Parma violets...An evening dress...consisted of very rich silk, of a brilliant tone of cerulean blue, and covered with small stars embroidered in white silk. The dress was made with a double skirt, and each of the silk skirts had the appearance of being worn over a skirt of white muslin, edged with broad Valenciennes lace...One of the dresses of the Duchess of Sutherland has attracted much attention. The robe was of rich pink lampas, embroidered with silk so exquisitely lustrous that it presented the effect of silver. The robe was open in front, and worn over a skirt of white taffety, also embroidered with white silk, and trimmed with two flounces of rich Alencon lace. The pink robe was edged with festoons of lace, fastened by rosettes of pink silk, and in the centre of each rosette there was an agraffe of pearls'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
