Paris fashions for June, 1864. 'Fig. 1. Walking Dress. Dark lilac poplin robe, trimmed with black passementerie ornaments. The corsage is cut in the style known as the corsage Imperatrice, without seam. Lilac crape bonnet, covered with black tulle, and ornamented with lilac marguérites beneath the front edge. Fig. 2. Carriage Dress. Slate-coloured moire antique robe, trimmed with violet ribbon, fastened at intervals by bows of the dress material: the sleeves are similarly ornamented. Rice chip bonnet, edged in front with a trimming of black lace, and provided on one side, behind, with a violet bow and green leaf; a small bouquet of green leaves is also placed upon the violet silk bavolet. Fig. 3. Dress for a Watering-place. Robe of grey moire, which it is needless to describe, as the principal feature of this figure is the Maintenon mantle, composed of cashmere, lined with taffety. The hood is flat, trimmed with lace, and, forming a pelerine, falls over the shoulders when worn out of doors with a bonnet. With the hood raised over the head, as shown in our Illustration, this mantle will be very convenient for evening rambles in the country, or at the seaside'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
