OPERA DRESS
A blue crape dress over a white
satin slip; the dress trimmed round the skirt with a deep blond lace, which is
headed with a light and novel trimming, composed of white floss silk and small
pearl beads: this trimming is surmounted with a beautiful deep embroidery of
lilies, surrounded by leaves.
The body and sleeves of this dress, as our
readers will perceive by our print, are extremely novel. Head-dress tocque a la Berri; it is a crown of a
novel form, tastefully ornamented round the top with lilies to correspond with
the trimming of the skirt, and a plume of white feathers, which droop over the
face.
Ear-rings, necklace, and bracelets, sapphire mixed with pearl.
The hair
dressed in loose light ringlets on the forehead, and disposed in full curls in
the back of the neck.
White kid gloves, and white satin slippers.
