Ladies' Page: a white satin evening gown, 1898. 'The season beyond the Irish Channel looms large. Vice-regal gaieties are in the air, and West-End milliners are busy over the panoply of forthcoming vanquishings and victories. Here par exemple are items in the devastating roll-call of a popular beauty's trousseau. One evening gown of rich white satin, garnished at foot with guipure of the most approved consequence, edgings of chiffon being supplied wherewith to glorify same. Velvet bows of faint lettuce-green make service on skirt and for waistband and upper sleeves conformably with the colour of the country, and a dog-collar and hair-clasp of diamonds and pearls en suite seek worthy companionship with this lightsome raiment, finally destined to figure at St. Patrick's Ball in this year of grace and glory'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
