Ladies' Pages: white cloth visite with black chiffon frills, 1898. 'Meanwhile is presented this reincarnation of the old visite to the regards of young matrons in search of an outdoor idea. It is made of white cloth under double frills of black mousseline-de-soie. The design on revers, wrought in black bébé ribbon, is effective. Frills of chiffon add a becoming fluffiness, and the white lace bow at neck corresponds to the lace wings which figure modishly at the side of a frilled black chiffon toque. 'From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
