Paris fashions for December, 1861. '1. Dress for an Evening Party. White muslin robe, the skirt ornamented with flounces and bouillonnés deposed alternately. The corsage, rather longwaisted and very pointed, is lownecked and altogether of the Marie Antoinette style...The headdress consists of the couronne Ceres, attached behind by a bow of dark blue ribbons...2. The Etoile Manteau. This elegant cloak is of black velvet...Over the shoulder-piece...completed by a pair of tassels, are distributed a number of passementerie stars (whence the name of the manteau). The bonnet crowning this toilet is the most highly decorated of any we have yet had the courage to depict. Many such are to be seen just now in Paris. 3. Walking Dress. Pale blue silk robe, ornamented on the front of the corsage, round the sleeves, and on the skirt with a narrow cross-barred ribbon-velvet trimming; that on the skirt is put on festoonwise, and varied by the addition of a silk rosette high up on one side. The corsage is roundwaisted, and fastened by a buckled band, from which depend two long streamers...The chapeau is in rice chip, with black rolling plume; the tour-de-tête being a combination of blonde below, with a rather large rose and a narrow pink feather above.. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
