The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-07-21
Paris Fashions for July.

Rarely has greater taste been displayed than
in the maj ufacture of the Organdie mUsllnS,
mougst lines de sole, PompRdor silks, and fou-
laTds, now so much worn. The last named mo-
serial seems as # it would never be ont of favor;
we see il at all times and seasons, but the plain
ones are now replaced by the most elegant and
luxurious designs. Muslin dresses are generally
of the same patterns rs the foulards but are
cover ed with some very small pattern checks,
spots, or stripes.
Moirts or thick tafIetas have disappeared. For
10 dTfssy wear the popelines, llamas, aud pols
90 cheNre or mOhaiT nre much III favOr-in tdCt,
auy tn ng of the llama kiDd Is in the ascendant.
Pi ue dr. sses are much worn With mantles of the
same. and are mostly with pre.Ty designs in Hack
wooltn blaid for the convenience of washing,
and with pols Of crochet in black in.gran cotton.
White dresses are much wrn, IN oil suitable
materials, If of muslin, they are generally
6immed vi h ingram Coored muslin in tlouncss
of plaitipgs. Narrow black velVets are still a very
fptbonaOle trimming, specially for young ladies.
The llama or mOhnr dr. ases printed Ia lmlta-
tiOn OF brai0ing have become very common.
This sty le is still in favor for peticolts for mora
ing wear. The coiOred petticOa are extremely
handsome, and very richly trimmed The most
habillts Of these are Of white paca, trimmed 10
eaTreSpoDd with the dress with which they ar
Intended TO be worn.
Muslin or thin dresses are worn over colored
tarlatans. This has q very pretty and grial
effect, and is infinitely more economical than silk
sips. Many silk dresses have a pattern printed
On lhtm, 10 initiate revers, ribbons, sashes, &c.
IB this case, the dress requires no other trimming
than ihe ornament thus simulated.
While bOde are yerv much worn, and with
them cOrseiets Of silk, or the same material as
the skirt. The Garib iidi bodies, hanging loose
are now made without any running or baud at the
waist, SO that they Gao be arranged to fit the
WeuTeT, ard the skirt Is placed over them.
Ruches-deci1edly the most elegant trin.hing
ever introduCed-ure a. much in favor as ever.
They are generally pinked OF frayed al tue edges,
and made very fui. Buges, whether white or
black, are exceedingly fashionable. ShaHs do
not tteu qute SO much ia favor for dress wear
nR formerly. IN their place we see tue silk half
lifting mantle with lace tOunces or the CANAL ol
lace.
