Fig. 2.—Lemon-colored satin robe, trimmed with a deep flounce of
antique point lace, surmounted by roses placed singly at regular
distances above the flounce; low tight _corsage_ and sleeve, both
trimmed with point. Head-dress of hair, disposed in thick masses of
ringlets at the sides, and a low open bow behind; it is decorated with
flowers, and a gold cross, _Châle bournouss_ of white cashmere, lined
with white satin, and bordered with a band of black and plaid velvet.
Fig. 3.—India muslin robe; the skirt is trimmed with a closely plaited
_volan_, which encircles the bottom of the border, mounts in the drapery
style on one side, and is terminated by a _nœud_ of muslin, similarly
finished at the ends; a _chef d’or_ head the _volan_. _Corsage en gerbe_
and short full sleeve, both ornamented with _chefs d’or_. The head dress
gives a front view of the one just described. Opera cloak of brown _rep_
velvet, lined with blue satin: it is made shorter than the dress, of
moderate width, and trimmed with three blue satin _rouleaus_, each
placed at some distance from the other, and a light embroidery
surmounting the upper one. A small hood, and a very deep lappel complete
the ornaments.
OPERA DRESS.

is made tight to the shape, and half-high. Demi-large sleeve; the front
of the skirt is finished on each side by fancy silk trimming. _Mantelet_
of a large size, and of the same materials, bordered with a rich white
and pink _chenille_ fringe. Black velvet _chapeau à la Louis XIII_,
trimmed with white and pink feathers.
