A period guide praises lively blouse design using fine materials like wool, velvet, and silk. It stresses color contrast and trims, warns against overfamiliarity, and suggests affordable options alongside luxurious embroidery to achieve elegance. Florette notes smocked blouse as ideal for tall, graceful figures.
A fashion note outlines serviceable coats for four year olds and younger children in broadcloth with mink tail or fur trims. Teens and older girls wear three quarter length double breasted coats in Kersey or cheviots with pearl buttons, some Wattean plaited backs noted.
The text advises on ring wear and nail care, noting that rings on the third finger avoid retainer effects, pearls suit fat hands while harsh on bony ones, and old signet rings or rubies suit decorations. It warns against overpolished nails and suggests almond shapes with careful trimming to avoid undue prominence.
Winter headwear changes introduce the bun as a prominent style. The bun sits low, larger hair volume, with nets worn over fringe and back hair. Light hats and fringes use woven hair toupees mounted on a collapsible frame to prevent flattening by the bun.
A variety of gowns and fabrics are described including gauze over silk, net edges with narrow ribbon, and light blue felt box plaits trimmed with black satin rosettes and ostrich feathers. Draped skirts may return with skilled millinery alongside bright embroidery, cross stitches, and color combinations for evening wear. Grace dictates three dress lengths for different occasions.
Laura Yelverton meets George Gerard again after years apart. He confesses gambling ruin and declares his enduring love, while she resolves the impossibility of marrying Captain Hungate and faces a future without the man she loves.
