Paris fashions for August, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Paris fashions for August, 1862. Fig. 1. Bridal Dress. Crape robe over taffety, the skirt ornamented with a silk ruching formed into festoons fastened by large rosettes and edged with wide lace...round sleeves, wide at the wrist, and ornamented with ribbon and lace trimmings. The headdress consists of a garland composed of orange-flowers and apple-blossom. Fig. 2. Promenade Dress. Light fawn-coloured plain silk dress...the extra (lower) flounce on the skirt and sleeves is also in silk, but of a light green colour, forming a very strange but not displeasing contrast for a carriage dress...The leghorn bonnet, with a simple rose ornament in the tour-de-tete, is almost entirely covered by a small Chantilly black lace veil, which should only descend as far as the eyes. Fig. 3. Walking Dress. Robe and burnous of the same material, either plain foulard or light slate-coloured alpaca...the collar is provided with a very short pelerine, pointed in front and behind, and trimmed to correspond with the lower parts of the skirt and burnous. Rice-chip bonnet, with drooping feather falling along the left-hand edge of the chapeau; lace tour-de-tete, ornamented with two large roses'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the fashionable streets of Paris in August, 1862, as depicted in this photograph from the Illustrated London News. This image showcases three elegant and fashionable outfits that were popular during this period. In the first figure, a bridal dress is displayed, featuring a crape robe over a taffeta underdress. The skirt of the gown is adorned with silk ruching formed into festoons, fastened by large rosettes, and edged with wide lace. The round sleeves are wide at the wrist and ornamented with ribbon and lace trimmings. The bridal headdress is a garland composed of orange-flowers and apple-blossom, adding a natural and romantic touch to the ensemble. The second figure showcases a promenade dress, made of light fawn-coloured plain silk. The extra flounce on the skirt and sleeves is also in silk, but of a light green colour, creating a striking contrast. The leghorn bonnet is simple, with a rose ornament in the tour-de-tete, almost entirely covered by a small Chantilly black lace veil. Lastly, the third figure displays a walking dress, consisting of a robe and burnous of the same material, either plain foulard or light slate-coloured alpaca. The collar is provided with a very short pelerine, pointed in front and behind, and trimmed to correspond with the lower parts of the skirt and burnous. The rice-chip bonnet is adorned with a drooping feather falling along the left-hand edge of the chapeau, and the lace tour-de-tete is ornamented with two large roses. These exquisite fashion plates offer a glimpse into the opulent and intricate world of Parisian fashion during the mid-19th century, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the era.
