GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE

FASHIONS FOR JULY.

hemisphere of fashion. It is generally made of white lace or very fine sprigged muslin, bound quite round with coloured ribbon, deep frill of broad lace round the collar. Lace caps still maintain (as they justly deserve) an unrivalled superiority among the truly elegant votaries of fashion; and we are much pleased to observe a considerable increase of sarsnet hats, many of a

pleasing and novel design, forming, together with the dresses before described, a most graceful tout ensemble in the persons of some of our most lovely belles.

The most fashionable straw bonnets for the

promenades are the conversation cottage bonnets, which have been so much distinguished for their negligent neatness. The mob and shell bonnet just introduced are universal among our London élégantes The mob and woodman hats are also very much admired by every votary of taste.

This evening dress has been much approved of. A French jacket of white or coloured crape, ornamented with rich narrow joining lace, same round the bottom of the dress; long sash of ribbon tied carelessly on one side, colour correspondent with the dress. Front worn plain and very high over the bosom, trimmed round with a plain double tuelle. No neckerchief or tucker is necessary with this dress; white kid gloves and shoes.

This walking-dress will be very fashionable. A short round frock of nankin, trimmed round the bottom with a rich purple or sapphire ribbon, bound with the same round the bosom; narrow sash of the same ribbon tied on one side; lace chemizette; nankin boots or shoes; silk gipsy hat.

PARISIAN FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

A and muslin, still continue to attract; they are bonnet, with the peak made of straw, and the much worn with hoods approaching the ancient crown of white silk, is always worn by ladies costume; but in point of elegant simplicity, the who indulge in the pleasure of riding on horsecottage tippet has assumed the ascendency in the || back. A lace frill is worn round the neck; No. V. Vol. I.
