Fashions for ladies and gentleman.
A tunic of lilac silk, clasped down the front with gold ornaments; a cloak of the same colour attached, so as to unite closely behind, but to fall loose over the shoulders; fixed on the shoulders with golden ornaments: the cloak is lined with white or straw-colored silk, and ornamented with a border of gold.
Bonnet and boots of the same colour. Raised spotted muslin underdress, with loose sleeves, bound at the arms and wrist. Gold necklace, and York tan gloves.
