This photograph, hailing from the August edition of "The Paris Fashions" in 1860, showcases three elegant and timeless outfits that defined the fashion scene of the era. The first ensemble is a walking dress, featuring a silk gown adorned with Chantilly lace mantelet-pelisse. The bonnet can be made of either straw or crape, and is embellished with a small bouquet of flowers and a tour-de-tete made of tufts of flowers and black velvet bows. The second outfit is a visiting dress, consisting of a grenadine gauze robe with seven narrow flounces. The upper flounce is frilled, and the sleeves are wide with three rows of frills. The dress is round-waisted and fastened with a Moldavian band and buckle. The bonnet is made of rice-chip and trimmed with a wide blonde forming a flat bow, while the cap is made of blonde and adorned with two small bouquets of roses and foreign green grapes. Lastly, the seaside costume includes a plain silk robe, a black silk casaque with gimp pelerine, and three black velvet roses and buttons down the front. The casaque has a row of buttons down the front of the skirt, and the sleeves are ample and open at the ends, with the option to button them if desired. The hat is a straw hat bordered with black velvet, and the net for the back hair is of black chenille. These exquisite designs, captured in this photograph from the "Illustrated London News" in 1860, offer a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and continue to inspire and captivate us today.
