The Mirror of Fashion for June, 1821

Walking-Dress
Sarsnet round dress, of Egyptian sand-color, with a broad fluted flounce: pelerine cape, with Bourdeaux points, and fastening behind, surmounted by a triple British ruff, of Urling's patent lace. Hat, of sea-green silk beaver, or of fancy straw, with a long, white veil of striped gauze. French grey Bourdeaux slippers, and green parasol, fringed, or bordered with white.

Evening Dress
Round dress, of fine India muslin, with three flounces touching each other, so as to form one standing up. White satin corsage, superbly ornamented with rich silk cordon and a coquillage plaiting on the bust, of fine Mechlin lace. Sash of broad, white, watered riband, with small bows, and long ends. White satin turban, with bandeau of pearls across the forehead, and full-blown roses placed on each side at equal distances. White satin shoes, and white kid gloves.

The above two elegant and truly becoming dresses were invented by Miss Pierpoint, who has so much added to the grace of female contour by the invention of her Corset a la Grecque, 9, Henrietta-street, Covent-Garden.
