Légende
Paris Fashions for February, 1850. 'Coiffures for dinners and concerts are dazzling to the eye, from the gold-embroidered gauze and gems of which they are composed. Turbans are much worn, and are fastened in the front by an aigrette of diamonds, or a jewelled flower. Jewels are more fashionable than ever: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, are apparently scattered over the dresses, for each bow of ribbon sparkles with a gem. Natural flowers have a decided advantage over artificial ones; and it is in very good taste to place in the hair one of those beautiful camellias, which retain their freshness even in the heat of a ball-room. Bouquets for the hand are made larger than ever: a toilette without a bouquet is hardly complete; and, to give the stamp of real elegance, it should be formed of the rarest flowers which the conservatory can produce.' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
