Winter gowning combines hat and wrap in velvet charm

A Victorian fashion note describes a pale broadcloth tailor frock worn without wrap if desired, paired with prune velvet hat and cape of stiff velvet. A stone marten collarette with pearly lights frames the throat while a broad brimmed prune velvet hat tops the ensemble with leaf-green accents and black-winged bird cluster.

Notes on winter fashion describe tan flexible waists with applique lace and satin like finishes. Accordion chiffon beading adds elegance for dressy wear, while many skirts remain untrimmed though flounces rise in Europe. Handkerchief waist belts, silk squares, brass buckles, and wide black satin ribbons feature in contemporary outer garments.
