The Mirror of Fashion for June, 1825

Morning Dress - A dress of Egyptian flame-coloured silk, ornamented at the bottom with the same material, cut in bias, and drawn in small gatherings in the centre, the edges bound with narrow piping; the border is finished by a broad wadded hem. The body is made high to the throat, and confined by three narrow straps; the waist is confined by a broad belt and gold clasp. The sleeves are very full from the shoulder to the elbow, and then confined tight to the arm; the wrists are finished by a double puffing.

Head-Dress - The hair is in fall curls, confined by a fall of rich Urling's patent lace from the ears, and a small French moss-rose placed in the front of the forehead. A bunch of blue riband is placed above the comb at the back part of the head.

Blue silk reticules, Limeric gloves, and shoes to correspond with the dress.

Parisian Walking Dress - A Redingote of emerald-green watered Lyonese silk, ornamented with rouleaux of satin, in the vandyke style, round the border and down the fronts. Leghorn hat, ornamented with a bouquet of plumes of peacock's feathers, mounted to resemble birds of Paradise. A mantille, or cloak, of rich black blond, finishes this elegant dress. Bracelets in gold. White kid gloves. Pink parasol, and green emerald shoes.
