Ladies' Page: a charming gown, 1898. 'Much more in the order of taste and becomingness is, for example, this charming little gown of stone-colour sketched here, which can be made either of a light textured cloth or cashmere, according to its destined uses. Its front, cut apron fashion, shows up well on the light striped or tucked silk, which in the original model is white silk. Dainty revers of embroidered cambric with neck-bow to match account very prettily for the bodice, narrow lines of black velvet outlining the whole. The crinoline straw hat trimmed with ox-eyed daisies and pink glacé ribbon and a pink striped en-tout-cas, accord admirably with the dull stone-colour of the dress'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
