Left: Mourning Dresses. The elegant widow wears black gown with a white lace collar and gold ribbon tying under the bust and falling down the skirt. The blue scarf and slippers add some color to the dress as well. The urn adds an appropriate funerial air.
Right: Promenade Dress. This dress is very like many morning dresses. It is of white muslin
with a long violet perline or short cape over it. The perline is trimmed with lace and a lace veil
covers the lady's head. She carries a parasol to protect herself from the sun and preserve the
desirable pale white skin color.
