Early Victorian Era Ladies' Dress - August 1857 Godey's Lady's Book
La Esmeralda
Promenade Dress for the Springs or Sea-Side
We give another walking-dress, which may be thought more serviceable. The skirt is a plain silk, of any neutral tint, made perfectly plain and full; the jacket is of black silk, the peculiar novelty being altogether in the elongated point of the basque, on which a slight fulness is arranged to allow for moderate crinoline; the trimming is a mixture of jet and silk passamenterie. The hat, which is of Leghorn, and consequently very light, differs in shape from that in the steel plate; the crown is higher, the brim broader and slightly rolled; the trimming consists of white satin ribbon and plumes. Plain parasol of dark brown moire antique.
