Ladies' Page: a black and white striped silk gown, 1898. 'Supplementing my rhapsodies over one black and white frock, I have received this specially designed sketch of another which describes the latest arrangement in striped silk, opening on an under-dress of tucked white chiffon over taffetas. Bands of black and white lace, entre deux, embroidered, are employed in diagonal lines at both sides of skirt; a fall of black Chantilly adds to these ornamental intentions its fringe-like effect, and greatly contributes to the success of an undoubtedly charming costume'. Sybil. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
