Walking Dress, Ackermann's March 1815
All set for windy weather, though I do wonder how the bonnet will fare.
Here is the official description, but I do not think this is primrose.
PELISSE of short walking length, made of evening primrose-coloured velvet, ornamented down the front with satin trimming; round capes, trimmed to correspond; full lace ruff.
A French bonnet, composed of white velvet and satin in reversed plaitings, trimmed round the edge with a quilting of lace; full plume of ostrich feathers in the front.
Half-boots of tan-coloured kid. Gloves, Limerick or York tan.
I think this is a beautifully elegant coat. Reminds me of a coat I had when the maxi fashion first came out.
Until next time……..
