********************************
Casaque Carmago, May 1869
********************************

... a new style walking-dress... 
This casaque is to be trimed with a flounce on the bottom of the under-skirt of
dress eight inches in depth, put on in single pleats two inches apart, headed by
a band of material bound on both sides. Arrange this under flounce to meet the 
skirt of the casaque, as seen in the design. The flounce up the casaque is graduated 
at the waist, beginning there with three inches in depth, and increasing to six inches 
at the back; three inches for the collar and sleeves. The skirt of the casaque is 
looped at the back with large bow and ends. 

...especially suitable for spring and early summer.
