Walking Dress May 1815
From Ackermann's Depository
This outfit really makes me think of spring, the casual pelisse over the gown, the parasol. What do you think?
Here is the official description;
HIGH dress, made in cambric muslin, with deep full flounces richly worked on French cambric; a deep falling frill round the neck, to correspond.
Pelisse, open, with falling collar, composed of green sarsnet, lined throughout with sarsnet of straw colour; the bottom of the sleeve trimmed with a double frill of the same; a double border of corresponding coloured trimming laid on the cuff and round the pelisse.
Bonnet of straw-coloured satin, edged and trimmed with green satin ribbon, and ornamented either with a cluster of flowers or a small plume of feathers.
Sandals of green kid; gloves to correspond. Parasol of straw-coloured silk.
The sandals seem to be a bit of a risk, but they are not open toed fortunately.
Until Next Time
