Original Costumes for Gentlewomen.- Tea Gowns. 1891.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Gentlewoman, September 12th, 1891," showing the Following Four Illustrations drawn by Lilian Young for "Original Costumes for Gentlewomen,- Tea Gowns."

1- Made of flannel of a dull shade of pink ; it is pleated both at the back and front into three-box pleats, the centre one being covered with a band of black passementerie, while the sjoght fulness of the bodice is held in its place by a belt of the passementerie, and the cuffs on the quaintly shaped sleeves and the round turned-down collar are made of the same trimming.  
2- Is very simple though striking. It is made of a cardinal red vigogne, caught on each side of the bustinto rosettes, and displaying a full front of red and white spotted foulard, striped at the top and bottom with rows of black velvet, with which the full sleeves, also of the foulard, are trimmed to correspond.
3- Is a straight gown of light turquoise blue-faced cloth.  The full sleeves and draped front are made of black crepede Chine, while the square, turned-down collar, is of black ostrich feathers, and the shaped cuffs and fringed zone are of jet.
4- Is a very elaborate affair.  It is made of black brocade, with coloured flowers upon it, and it is cut square in the front, edged with a very fine make of wide black lace, and the under dress is of apple-green crepe de Chine, folded and draped, and tied above the waist into a wide sash with long bows to reach, with fringed ends, to the hem.

Condition is Very Good.
