Paris Fashions for October, 1854. 'Bonnet of Rice-straw and Blonde; poplin dress, with wide stripes ; sarcenet scarf-mantilla, ornamented with stamped rounds, and trimmed with guipure or net; the material of the mantilla being fastened together by chain-stitch. The summer mantillas, for some time past, have been so made that they may suit the season which is advancing; the colour of the sarcenet is darker, and the open embroidery diminished'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
