A three-page fashion column from January 1851 describing the season's women's dress: evening and ball gowns with heavy trimming, embroidered cloth walking dresses, and short velvet cloaks and mantelets. It lists the materials, trims and colors in vogue (lace, ribbon, braid, satin stitch embroidery). Captions explain the engraved illustrations: a lace cap, a velvet bonnet, muslin engageantes, a mantelet, and a group of bridal and evening costumes.
