Ladies' Page: grey cloth dress piled with amethyst velvet, 1898. '...Lent, viewed as a picturesque excuse for composing dim religious tones in frocks, has always...been very popular with the orthodox Parisienne, and this season we are introduced to a new shade of bluish rock pigeon-grey, which, profusely embroidered with amethysts, is considered appropriately sombre to the more demure state of being these forty days involve in gay Lutetia. One method of combining this duet in colour is successfully shown by the accompanying Illustration, which deals with a grey cloth dress very daintily and symmetrically piped with amethyst velvet. Beneath the collar, an insertion of beaded guipure shows an amethyst velvet lining underneath, and the toque of black striped gauze over purple tulle is relieved by a white plume that curls about the brim in an attitude of undeniable chic.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
