Full Dress - Dress of bright poppy-colour India muslin, ornamented with small sprigs of gold. The corsage to fit, with an elegant stomacher, composed of double rows of gold lace, placed diagonally from the front and continued over the shoulder; the outside formed into vandykes: short full sleeve, incased in bands edged with gold; broad gold lace band round the waist; tucker of narrow blond. The skirt is decorated with gold lace, placed flat on the dress in perpendicular double columns of different height; the upper part finished with a wave, and the highest points terminated with three unilateral leaves of gold edged with very narrow blond; broad wadded hem at the bottom of the dress. Turban of gold and poppy-colour crepe lisse; the frame of alternate rows of the same coloured satins brought to a point in front, and satin bands of French folds supporting the large bouffants of crepe lisse: short coquelicot feather placed on the right side. Pearl ear-rings, bracelets, and necklace; blond lace scarf; French trimmed gloves, and white satin shoes.
Evening Dress - British lace dress: the waist rather long, and the corsage plain, with a Farinet tucker of fine tulle, tied in front by a bow of white satin ribbon: short full sleeve, set in a white satin band; perpendicular corded satin bands, ornamented half way with bows of white satin ribbon, support the fulness of the sleeve: corded satin ceinture; rosette of corded leaves behind, with a highly wrought steel buckle in the centre. The skirt is trimmed with two flounces of deep blond lace, arranged in festoons; and a corded satin leaf, pointing downwards, unites three narrow satin pipings that head each flounce: a broad satin rouleau terminates the bottom of the dress. The hair is parted on the forehead, and in light curls round the face; hind hair disposed in bows at the top of the head, and a garland of flowers is placed rather back. Becklace of gold, with ornaments in front; ear-rings and bracelets to correspond. White kid gloves, and white satin shoes.
