Ladies' Page: costume of green cloth piped with black satin, 1898. 'Satin pipings, reverting to mere modes, are a revived variety, which obtain with some seekers after novel effects, and in this Illustration a Lincoln green cloth gown, braided in black and with double pipings of black satin, has a very well-arranged effect. It is fastened at left side by smart rosettes of black satin, having diamond centres, and a white felt hat with medallion embroidery and black feathers crowns all uncommonly well'. Sybil. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
