MORNING DRESS.
A petticoat of fine jaconet muslin, ornamented at the feet with a flounce laid on, appliqued with borders of needle-work.
French spencer, of striped muslin; long loose sleeve, confined at the wrist with a bracelet; high military collar—collar and fronts trimmed with lace; short sash of lilac sarsnet tied in front.
A melon cap, composed of lace and lilac ribbon, confined in bows upon the crown.
Half-boots or sandals, lilac kid. Gloves, Limerick or French kid.
For the fashions for this month we are again indebted to the tasteful and elegant designs of Mrs. Bean of Albemarle-street.
I enjoyed the description of the hat as a melon cap, but for a change I quite like it. I would have liked the colour lilac to have showed more in the picture, but I imagine that the lacy ruffles made the gown seem very light and airy and feminine. I had a blouse something like the spencer that I used to wear under a jacket. It was one of my favourites.
Until next time
