From Ackermann's Repository
Now I am not sure about your idea, but this looks far from warm. Nor do I much like the Vandyke French ruff. What do you think?
Walking Dress
An Italian striped sarsnet lilac-coloured dress, ornamented round the bottom with a double quilling of satin ribband; short full sleeve, trimmed to correspond; the fronts of the dress cross the bosom and form an open stomacher; a Vandyke French ruff, and full bordered cap to correspond.
The satin straw hat, tied under the chin with a check or striped Barcelona handkerchief, crossing the crown with a small plume of ostrich feathers in the front.
French shawl, a white twill, embroidered with shaded scarlet and green silks, and fancifully disposed on the figure.
Gloves, Limerick of York tan, drawn over the elbow. Half-boots of York tan or pale buff kid.
Until next time
