Ladies' Page: a white silk lawn costume, 1898. 'More in the manner of summer...is this...delicious frock of white silk lawn over pale mauve taffetas, applications of black Chantilly [lace] lavishly used on bodice and apron giving it that distinctive air which no other form of ornamentation so well accomplishes. The parasol of white corded silk is covered en suite with a shaped cover of Chantilly - another old mode revived - while the bonnet, carrying out this symphony of two primary colours, is in white folded lisse, with upstanding wings of black lace, a central osprey crowning it in curves. Except in the case of second mourning, a posy of pink roses might be successfully added to this pretty bonnet, and another to match in the waist-belt'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
