A two-page fashion article from Godey's Lady's Book (1860) describing a new Parisian dress style: a black silk skirt sprinkled with colored flower bouquets, a low bodice crossed with two broad plaited bands and a large bow, and a small epaulette. It is worn with large white muslin sleeves and a tucked chemisette trimmed with narrow lace, and alternative colors are suggested. The second page gives a dressmaking pattern diagram with front, back, side and sleeve pieces, lettered points and measurements in inches.
