The Mirror of Fashion for March, 1825
Walking Dress - A blue dress of crepe lisse, over a white satin slip; the border is finished with three rouleaux of narrow white satin, brought to a festoon, on the right side, and terminating with a full blown rose; the bottom of the dress is completed by a broad wadded hem edged with satin. The body is plain and surmounted round the bust by a full puffing of crepe lisse, confined by narrow pipings. The sleeves are full, and let in with quillings of the same material and bound by satin bands. White kid gloves and white satin shoes. Ornaments of pearl.
Evening Dress - A pelisse of pistachio coloured gros de Naples; the back is plain, the sleeves full, but plain towards the shoulders, and narrow to the wrist; a broad light fur forms the cuff, with a collar to correspond, and a broad belt to confine the waist: round the border of the skirt are placed, in an oblique direction, leaves, of the same material, bound round and surmounted by pipings of satin. The hat is of black velvet, with a plume of marabouts, and with it is worn a cap of Urling's lace thrown off the face, with full curls on each side of the head. This dress is completed by a handsome ruff of Urling's lace to correspond with the cap. Ornaments, gold chain and eye glass.
Head-dress - The most fashionable style of dressing hair is in large Parisian curls on the forehead. The braid is elegantly drest in small bows across the head, with flowers at the sides, or surmounted with feathers.
For the dresses we are, as usual, indebted to the taste of Miss Pierpoint, Edward-street, Portman-square; and for the Head-dress, to Mr. Colley, Bishopsgate-street within.
