Ladies' Page: a roman satin tea-gown, 1898. 'To appreciate the true outwardness of Roman satin one should see it in a tea-gown. No other garment displays its stately folds and shining texture to such advantage. To prove, moreover, its excellent parts this five o'clock attire has been designed, which in the dull rose of pink terracotta makes most ineffable effect with its full front of fancy-striped black and white silk gauze, on which silver and jet paillettes are laid in glittering lines to heighten the effect; the bolero and upper sleeves are treated to match. Narrow black gimp outlines the gauze, and a jewelled buckle holds it at the waist. Only the very best Roman satin should be employed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
