Fashions for September, 1845. 'Morning Caps are often made in embroidered muslin, trimmed with lace, and plain sarcenet ribbon of either cerire, blue, Japan rose, Persian lilac, or straw colour. These caps are placed on the back of the head; are madi flat over the forehead, and full at the ears. There is but little novelty as regards mantlets or scarfs for the promenade: they are often made in white cashmere, with a coloured design'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
