A two-page fashion feature from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, April 1854, with engraved plates of promenade and evening costumes, a chemisette, a sleeve and a child's dress. The text describes the bonnet, guipure mantilla, taffeta and velvet dresses, trimmings and a merino child's dress with embroidery. Fabrics and trims such as blonde lace, guipure, quilling and silk fringe are named. The plates were drawn by Voigt from articles supplied by G. Brodie of New York.
