Taffeta boob dress

Description:If intended for a young girl it need not of necessity be so elaborate in design as to look like a ceremonious state gown, nor should it be so elaborately made nor have so long a train as to interfere with dancing, but it is essentially full dress, and as such permits of a fanciful design to start with, rich trimming, and with much attention paid to what is becoming. Patent-leather slippers are much worn with evening gowns, either low-cut, with tiny jewel led buckles or with the high vamp and big, old-fashioned paste buckles of former generations. The embroidery in out around the very hem of the skirt and on the upper part of the waist, or occasionally there is a more elaborate design on the front breadth. If she is very thin there can be folds of lace or soft illusion put around the top of the gown, that will veil the shoulders and hide their defects, and the sleeves may be nearly to the elbow; but the moment a guimpe is worn, that moment must be relegated to half-dress, or demi- toilette, as the French say. White, in cream or ivory tints, and all the pale shades of blue, pink, or green, are used, with the trimming the most marvelous hand-embroidery of gold, silver, or pearls. White is preferred to any color, and under all circumstances.
