Ladies' Page: a charming theatre-bodice, 1898. 'Among new materials - and their name and quality is more than ever legion - Egerton Burnett's box of patterns contains a whole series of inexpensive and pleasing surprises in stuffs...The self-evident charms of this gay little theatre-bodice need no adjectives to emphasise them. Rendered in almost any colouring, this style would command an admiring audience, but with a pale green satin skirt and ruched mousseline sleeves in the same tone, these embroideries, if done in black, pink, and green, should look transcendental, or nearly so. The full front could be of white, and the waistband of black miroir velvet, tightly drawn, need I add. Thus equipped a girl might sit out a première in box or stalls with that peaceful assumption of superiority which is only attainable on the very rarest occasions'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
