Evening Half-gown from Ackermann's Repository
A plain frock, with full drawn back, composed of striped sarsnet Italian net of peach-blossom colour; full flounce of blond lace, headed with tufts of the same; a quilling of blond round the top of the dress; long full sleeve of white satin, inlet with lace.
Hair in short full curls behind, and blended with flowers on the front of the head. Slippers of white kid. Limerick gloves.
I really like the sleeves on this gown. I believe the clue to the colour is the fact that it tries to represent the idea of a net over the fabric of the dress, because to me it doesn't say peach-blossom.
Until next time.....
