Recommended fabrics
were:
"This very comfortable jacket is made of cloth, trimmed
with velvet of the same color, or black, which is equally appropriate for the
garniture of any color. The jacket, like very any dresses of the present tie, is
made with a small cape, trimmed with narrow rows of velvet ribbon of the same
color as the rest of the velvet. This cape is trimmed with fringe...
Two hints we will venture to give to such of our friends as work
from our models. Always make a jacket of this sort large enough to go over any
dress body. It will be far more useful; and cloth is a substance which does not
look untidy if it does not fit quite closely to the figure..."
Pretty for you, pretty for gifts and pretty for posterity!
