Notes
Content: Printed on border: "Gleason's pictorial drawing-room companion." "32." "The Braganza." "The d'Angoulême." "Cloak fashions. The Braganza cloak can be made of any material, color, or style of trimming. The one represented herewith is of costly satin--color ashes of roses. The body is rounded behind and laps over at the arms, admitting a loose sleeve. A galloon trimming a shade lighter than the satin runs up the side and forms a drapery over the sleeve. The cape is medium size pointed behind and in front. The whole edged with deep rich fringe twisted half way down. Of course this style of garment admits of an infinite variety as it regards style and articles of trimming, in which it is usual for purchasers to consult their own taste, but to carry out the legitimate designs of the pattern, the plainer and richer the trimmings are, the more they will correspond with the original purpose of the Braganza. Already these styles are being very generally met with in Broadway, and, in some instances, in Boston and Philadelphia; but they will be very abundant by the opening of spring, and until the middle of May. That they are becoming, as well as fashionable, there can be but one opinion, being calculated to give a graceful outline to the whole figure, and far more ornamental and convenient than the old-fashioned cloak, the place of which it supplies. It is very curious to contrast the present style of dress with the fashion of the olden time." Foxing throughout image.
Source note: Gleason''s pictorial drawing-room companion. (Boston : F. Gleason, 1851-1852).
