A tulle collar is just an excuse for a lot of pearls…" "A quaint frock of dark grey satin draped with soft folds of black chantilly and collared with tulle would discredit the evidence of either of both of the aforesaid evils." Includes additional text.
Source Note: Vogue. (New York : Condé-Nast Inc., 1892-).
