Here we have a dress in the much despised puce of Georgette Heyer, a sort of brownish, reddish, purplish colour. I can't say I am that keen on the style either, but here is the original descriptions
Walking Dress from Ackermann's Repository
A pelisse of short walking length, made either in erminette or silk velvet of puce colour, open down the front, and bound entirely round with celestial blue satin, terminating at the feet with a broad border of white lace.
A high plain collar and treble copes [capes] bound to correspond; full lace ruff.
The Spanish hat composed of erminette or velvet and blue satin, corresponding to the pelisse, trimmed round the edge with quilling lace and ornamented in the front with a plume of ostrich feathers.
Half boots, blue kid or erminette. Gloves, Limerick or York tan.
Until next time....
