Paris fashions for January 1865, (1864). Fig. 1. Evening Dress. Robe of pale rose-coloured taffety, the corsage ? ceinture ornamented with a sort of basquine composed of black velvet bands trimmed with lace. The sleeves are provided with a narrow trimming to match...Fig. 2. Visiting Dress. Fawn-coloured robe of poplin or taffety, with trimmings either in moire antique or velvet, several shades darker than that of the dress. Sometimes a plain light-coloured silk is chosen for this style of robe, and then the trimmings just mentioned are advantageously replaced by black satin ornaments. Velvet waistband, fastened with buckle in mother-of-pearl. Light-brown velvet bonnet, trimmed with a white lace fanchon and a twisted feather. Fig. 3. Walking Dress. Plain but ample black silk dress. The principal feature of this toilet is the blue velvet pile-cloth mantle, which is thickly trimmed with brandebourgs attached by large mother-of-pearl buttons. The Coiffure. The head-dress depicted in the background of our Engraving is the most novel as to arrangement, and has been frequently executed with success by one of the principal hairdressers in Paris: the ornamentation consists of black velvet and an abundance of imitation coral beads.
