Caption

Paris Fashions for the New Year, 1854. 'Lace Cap en point d'Alencon, with groups of flowers on each side; sometimes, instead of these groups, the flowers are placed in a crown, beginning at the middle of the head, going on increasing on the cheeks, and terminating by water-flowers with long pendent sprigs. The latter flowers are more especially worn with open ball-dresses. Robe de satin turc, with basques, ornamented with a mossy fringe, finishing in front of the corsage, and forming a bretelle. Fichu and sleeves of lace, similar to the bonnet; the inside of the sleeve is trimmed with a double row of fringe to match'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
