LONDON FASHIONS FOR JUNE 1818

THE 1900s EVENING DRESS

Is made of a beautiful coloured sarsnet, worn over a white satin slip; the waist very short, and low in the bust; the sleeves short and full, falling much over the shoulders, and low in the back, above which is worn a frill of blond lace; round the waist is a sash of satin riband, fastened in a bow iu front. The skirt of this beautiful dress is ornamented with a deep trimming of net, and rows of coloured satin, which produces a light and beautiful effect, particularly in the ball-room.

The hair is parted in front, and falls on each side in soft ringlets, ond the head surmounted with a plume of white feathers. White kid gloves, and white satin shoes. We can recommend this dress to our fair readers who are in the bloom of youth, as a most becoming and fascinating acquisition of its kind.

Falling for Burberry

I am totally loving this gathered drawstring bag for Fall
It's fabulous because it's so versatile...a perfect balance of slouch and structure. It can totally work whether you go with preppy, boho, mod, or even glam this Fall.

It's also a great color, which is looking pretty fresh after all the brights of Summer.
