Caption on image: Fashions for January, 1876. Prepared expressly for "Arthur's Home Magazine" by Butternick and Co. Ladies and Children's garments. Ladies Walking Costume
Text: The costume represented by the engraving is made of two varieties of silk, with basket cloth for the jacket. The skirt is in ordinary walking length... The over-skirt is cut bias of the plaid silk, a style much in favor. The front and back are nearly equal in width, and the former has a seam at the center.... Titan braid is the decoration used [for the jacket], while linen lingerie completes the neck and wrists. The hat is composed of the dress materials combined and laid over a rolling rim, while a twist and loops together with a wing complete the decorations. |
