FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER..

(From the "London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.")
For promenade and carriage dresses, the handsomest
materials are used either plain or broche ; in shapes of
the same colour the mixture of tints is only adopted in
full dress. For redingotes, the tints of scabious, olive
green, violet, aile de mouche will be very fashionable.
Sevillien fringes rival those a la guimpe in trimming as
flounces, which are frequently in four, five, and six rows
from the top of the skirt to the bottom ; they are also
placed en tablier or double echelle on each side the skirt,
a very thick round braid of soft silk is also much used,
forming patterns in the soutache style on redingotes of
cachemire, or pekins. Another new trimming is formed
of velvet and gimp. Black lace trimming will be as fash-
ionable as ever, and galons polonais and epingle for
dresses and manteaux. Deep blue and ecru are the fa-
vourite colours for cachemire dresses, ornamented with
velvet or gimp; the corsages en blouse very high, the
sleeves wide at the top and narrow at the wrist, the skirts
very full, some have mantelets wadded to match. Great
simplicity is observed in all toilettes that are not decidedly
full dress. A warm and comfortable addition to the
winter dress are the little circassienne vestes ; the corsage'
formed so as not to increase the size of the waist, and left
open or crossed at pleasure; the sleeves wide, reaching to
the elbow ; they fasten in front by means of branden-
hourgs or meads of ribbon ; they are made of velvet,
trimmed with black lace of rich gimp, for evening wear,
also of pink or blue satin, with fringes or white lace, and
more en neglige of molleton cachemiregris, lined with
t
pink or cerise silk. Mauteaux are made of velvet,

are made; they are longer than those of 1.,.• ,t v.int'
blue violet ramona, and black; of the latter the major"!
,
those intended for walking or neglige ; the form
is pretty and comfortable ; one of the prettiest trimmings
for pardessus and mantelets consists of application of vel-
vet on satin de chine. The form of bonnets differs but

lets not separate from the bonnet. Coloured blonds are
much used to ornament them, and orange is a favourite
colour, and velvet flowers for satin or velvet bonnets ;
also foliage of various vegetables, carrot leaves, &c., and
taffetas pinked and made to imitate flowers. Capotes
either resemble bonnets, except in having coulisses, or
they are of the form styled bonne femme, with the crowns
demi bombes, and are pretty, covered with a fauchon of
lace.
