COW that the autumn has decidedly made its appearance among us, all our thoughts and energies must be directed to the study of the most becoming and appropriate styles of dresses and materials for the season. Notwithstanding the absence from Paris of the several leading queens of fashion, many of the principal houses have been actively employed in devising new styles for the approbation of their customers on their return to the capital, or to forward to them direct at their different chateaux or the most fashionable resorts at this time of the year. In the productions to which we have referred, neutral tints would seem to be more in favour than they were last month; but require relieving by some decided colour-such as cherry, mauve, or apple-green. The narrow cravats worn indoors, will be found very useful for this purpose; as, though so small, they are quite sufficient to relieve the monotony. We do not advise the trimming of a dress of one colour, with another and more striking self-colour; it is only in very exceptional cases that this produces an elegant effect. Black, for instance, may always be trimmed in this manner, and there are some greys, though very few, which look well with a contrast. We have recently seen a very pretty dress of two colours, intended for autumn wear. The effect was so very novel and distingué that our readers may probably wish for a description. A plain long gored skirt of light stone-coloured silk, with highbuttoned body, and very small open sleeves. Over this was worn a tunic of royal blue silk, also gored, reaching down to the knee VOL. 17. in front, but longer behind. A low body, pointed at top and bottom, without sleeves, with a postillon basque, completed this very elegant toilette. This style is likely to come into great vogue; but will never be in danger of becoming common, as no lady with any pretension to good taste, would make it in any but rich materials-such as silk, poplin, &c. The tunic and low body made of black silk, would have a very recherché effect, and might be worn with any coloured silk or poplin skirt. The new skirts are made from five and a half to six and a half yards round the bottom, and are trimmed with ribbon, braid, ornaments in point d'Espagne, or guipure passementerie with or without beads intermixed-the latter being made in an immense variety of styles. Sometimes, silk skirts are trimmed round with chenille fringe; but this would probably appear more suitable for camails of plush-indeed, for them, it is almost indispensable as a finish. Chenille fringe, both woollen and silk, is expected to be fashionable as a trimming during the winter, and, on thick material, has a very good effect. Plaid, although, perhaps, rather common as a trimming for outof-doors garments, is exceedingly fashionable for trimming silk or poplin dresses, especially self-coloured or black. Woollen plaids, both for dresses and cloaks, may decidedly be considered la mode this season. The plaid Talma, with or without a hood, and trimmed with a chenille fringe to match the tartan, is very pretty. Robes and camails will also be made of plaid, plush, or velvet. It is yet rather too soon to speak definitively about mantles, but we will just describe one novelty prepared in a first-class establishment, which appeared to us in very good taste, It is an immense collet of black velvet worked in rich bouquets of flowers, graduated |
