Ladies' Page: a becoming costume, 1898. 'Two opposing colours, like the same quantity of diametrical dispositions, sometimes agree uncommonly well@There is, in fact, a chic rarely attempted or accomplished until lately, except by Frenchwomen, in contrasting tints which seem to embrace each other on the first introduction, and which, now that our better classes have arrived at the true inwardness of dressing well, may be here set forth without fear of shocking the public conscience in clothes. A skirt of dull old-rose cloth, then, we will take, so please you, of that tint which assimilates so well with black - a colour that is represented in embroidery of foliage and flower, on high relief across front of skirt. Above it a jacket of buff, or rather biscuit-colour cloth, contrasts excellently. The revers of white moiré velours, the waist-ribbon of black satin, the hat of buff felt, with velvet cache-peigne of old-rose and white feathers, bear out a well-considered and becoming scheme of colour. Grey has been so done to death at fashionable events this season that I hesitate to recommend it, but it would nevertheless look very satisfying with embroideries in a deeper tone, and black hat with grey feathers shading to white'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
