La Belle Assemblée, 1817

 

Pelisse of the Cachemire manufacture; the ground white, ornamented with a fine vermillion red. Bonnet of vermillion coloured satin, embossed with straw, ornamented slightly with straw-coloured ribbands, and surmounted by a bouquet formed of a full blown damask rose and buds, with cars of ripe corn. This ornament is partially placed on one side: the edge of the bonnet finished by blond laid on strait. This elegant pelisse is confined by a vermillion-coloured belt, with a gold and Ceylon ruby broach, or clasp. Lyonese shawl with a rich border of various colours, is often thrown over this dress, as represented in the Print. White kid half boots; Limerick gloves, and vermillion-coloured satin ridicule with gold tassels and spring. Fichu frilled with fine lace, and left open at the throat.
