What better way to end June than with this lovely carriage dress from Ackermann's repository.
Here is the description
White satin pelisse, richly ornamented at the feet with clusters of leaves made in white twilled sarsnet, headed with tull; open fronts, trimmed to the bottom of the waist with a superb shell trimming of white satin ribbon and tull; loose unconfined sleeve, with corresponding trimmings at the hand.
Hat composed of white satin and tull, with a plume of feathers of the Pomona green.
Half-boots of similar colour. Gloves en suite.
I have the feeling that this lady has been waiting quite some time to be collected for her carriage ride. Or did she just hear a knock at the door? Either way, it is very pretty.
And in case you are feeling energetic, here is some needlework from the same edition you might like to have a go a in your spare time.
Until next month.....
