Left: Half-Dress. This dress can be seen in color in Doris Langley Moore's The Gallery of Fashion (Batsford Colour Books. London: B.T. Batsford, 1949). Moore explains: "This lady wears a pink-and-white-striped percale half-dress with flounced, embroidered border and white ruchings. Green knots of ribbon adorn the mameluke sleeves and the gored skirt" (12).
Right: Promenade Dress. This dress has a ruff in the Elizabethan style as a collar. The matching bonnet is topped by the ubiquitous white ostrich plumes.
