Gown created for Jane Hading by Laferri猫re for her European tour. 鈥楾he demi-toilette shows how completely successful a high-necked gown may be; and for a winter theatre dress it should prove a delightful model. It is made of th ever popular jet-embroidered net over a supple under-dress of white satin. The jet has however been supplemented in this instance by a serpentine border in gleaming blue steel; and these waved lines are found again upon the bodice which opens over a front of white moussel铆ne de soie. The sleeves are tight-fitting to the elbow where they are finished with soft frills of the mousseline'.(London; England: 1898).From: The Powder Puff [An English edition of "La Mode artistique".; 1898].The Powder Puff Autumn and Winter plate 225London; British Library.
