Here is the description:
A round pelisse made of the Moreno blue striped satin; long loose sleeve, trimmed over the hand with plain satin; a full ruff composed of the finest French cambric, richly ornamented with French work.
A small French shawl of shaded silks thrown carelessly over the shoulders.
A bonnet composed of orange-coloured satin, gipsied with a handkerchief of the same, edged and tied under the chin with Moreno blue satin ribbon; the handkerchief and the rim of the bonnet trimmed with blond lace, and a cluster of wild flowers ornamenting the crown.
Sandals, red or blue morocco. Gloves, York tan.
The shawl looks rather carefully placed to me, but the description makes it sound enchanting, doesn't it?
I love seeing the reticule and although it is not described although it is not described, the colour makes it stand out beautifully, don't you think?
Until next time….
