The Mirror of Fashion for September, 1825

Evening Dress
A dress composed of clear white muslin over a white satin slip: the border is finished by a double-wadded hem, surmounted by two rows of novel and beautiful trimming, of narrow welted satin, each row composed of four divisions, embellished by wreaths of Urling's pinked-gauze lace, looped on the left side with narrow satin bows, and small clusters of roses. The body is low, long full sleeves, completed by a broad fall of Urling's blond lace. White satin shoes and kid gloves.

Morning Promenade Dress
A pelisse of deep fawn-coloured gros de Naples: the border is completed by pointed trimming of the same material, a l' Espagnole, edged round with narrow pipings of the same, each point confined by a small button. The sleeves are full, and fastened at the wrists by full points, confined in a narrow welt of the same, and completed by a gold bracelet. Over this dress is worn the present fashionable gauze-striped kerchief, confined at the waist: a broad violet-coloured sash, tied at the side by a very small bow, and long ends fringed. A Leghorn Pamela hat, surmounted by a plume of elegant feathers, and confined under the chin by strings to correspond with the sash. Reticule of violet-coloured silk; primrose gloves, and violet-coloured shoes.

Head-Dress - The style of dressing the hair is very much altered since last month. The front is drest in full Parisian curls; the braid in small bows, interspersed with curls and flowers. A luxuriant bunch of French curls, to drop on the left side very low. Pearl ornaments are very fashionable, with small white and coloured feathers.

These elegant dresses were invented by Miss Pierpoint, Edward-Street, Portman-square - For the tasteful head-dress, we are indebted to Mr. Colley, Bishopsgate-within.
