Framed Print of Paris fashions for August, 1864. Creator: Unknown

Paris fashions for August, 1864. Fig. 1. Walking Dress. Robe and paletot of grey foulard, with three rows of dark violet silk and passementerie trimming on the skirt; round the edge of the paletot, across the shoulders, and on the cuffs, a single row of similar trimming is adapted with a most pleasing effect. The small round chapeau is in white tulle bouillonne, the bavolet being replaced by a large tulle bow; orange bow and ribbons. Fig. 2. Evening Dress. Very pale yellow alpaca robe, ornamented with silk embroidery in several shades of velvet. The skirt especially presents a very pretty and novel appearance, and the dress is completed by the Moldavian vest, and the muslin chemisette, of which only a small portion is seen above the black silk plastron edged with violet. The head-dress is the coiffure Catalane, in Valenciennes lace, with black and violet velvet bow in front. Fig. 3. Walking Dress for a Young Lady. Light stone-coloured toilet, the paletot and robe being of uniform colour, but trimmed with pink silk ornaments soutaches. The paletot is relatively more abundantly decorated than the skirt. Tuscan chapeau Windsor, almost covered with eagles feathers and white feathers the latter placed in front'. From Illustrated London News, 1864.
