Ladies' Page: opera wrap of light cloth, 1898. 'To be worn with [a ravishing frock in bright full cherry colour], or rather over it, was an opera-cloak of pale pearl grey made in the new material, serge de Chine. A floral appliqué of pink rose and cream anemone flowers embroidered in silks was laid in bands straight at the Watteau back and sloping in front. The collar and fronts of chinchilla enclosed a very fully draped front of grey mousseline-de-soie. The satin lining of this cloak was one shade deeper rose than the tulle gown it is intended to cover, so that a perfect harmony was created by both garments, which thus really and truly evolved "a heartburning costume".' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
