An excerpt:
"For the fall months it is
especially suitable, and is also excellent for
winter, if made out of
thicker cloth. Of this one
the
jacket and waistcoat are made of
velvet of any color, with military braid to match for the trimmings, and
fancy buttons. The skirt is made of Orleans cloth, with two
rows of velvet the same color as the jacket, the lower one being the broadest. the skirt is made rather full and quite ample in width.
The waistcoat fastens up the front with hooks, and is finished
with very narrow velvet braid. The same also goes around the collar.
The dress only requires drawers with a deep broderie edging to make it
the most elegant of any out this season."
