An article from The Woman's World (1888) on autumn fashions, in two parts. The first, by Mrs. Johnstone, covers London styles: tailor-made costumes by Redfern, new hats and bonnets, woollen cloths and their colours and borders, waterproofs, gloves, and gowns from Debenham and Freebody. It also briefly notes the Spitalfields silk-weaving industry and the effort to revive English silk. The second part, a Paris letter signed Violette, describes bridal trousseaux, lingerie, silk crepe underclothing, morning gowns, ribbons, hand embroidery and lace, and Mme. de Valsayre's dress-reform petition. It is illustrated with fashion engravings.
