Ladies' Page: an evening frock of spider-web tulle, 1898. 'A very chic example of evening frock, as it appears in the new spider-web tulle, is set forth here for the delectation of ball-going girlhood, and deserves more than a measure of approbation. This material is of the new newest, and though fine enough in appearance to have been spun from cobwebs and moonbeams, is sufficiently reliable inasmuch as it does not tear to tatters, like the classic tulle of one evening's wear. Treated with elaborate appliqués of Chantilly, as instanced, it makes a still more notable appearance. The colour of this model is a soft cloudy grey; the appliques are white. A fluffy border of Neapolitan violets edges the bodice, poppy-shaped choux of pale-green gauze with diamond centres being arranged at one side of the décolletage. A grey marabout feather-fan, with smoked-pearl sticks, gloves, and satin souliers to match, complete this spring-like altogether. The sash, with long narrow ends, may be either grey or pale-green velvet ribbon.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
