Paris Fashions for June - Home Toilette, 1850. 'The unsettled weather has caused ladies to be very undecided with respect to their toilettes; indeed, light and transparent dresses are only just now beginning to be generally worn. For the morning, loose open dresses in pale-coloured cambrics - pink, blue, primrose, or lilac, with mantelets of the same material, are extremely comme il faut. The collars and cuffs worn with these morning toilettes are of fine white cambric....The bodies are tight, and open in front; a cord connects the two sides of the corsage, and buttons, either of silk, coloured stones, or steel, are placed on the centre of this cord. The sleeves are wider at the bottom than at the top, and are trimmed with two small flounces; from beneath them a large lace sleeve falls over the hand, leaving the lower part of the arm uncovered. This form of sleeve is very becoming to the hand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
