s1874_6 ******************************************* Princess Beatrice Corsage, July 1874 ******************************************* On the front we have fastened in the proper place, the vest and the revers. The vest may be either continued up to the neck, as in the diagramme, or cut off across the chest, as seen in the engraving. If the open style is preferred, it is more usual to have the vest imitated, by outting in the front piece, as we have given it; although some prefer to cut the vest entire, sewing it in at the shoulder-seams, and under the arms. The middle of the back is cut open, and ornamented by revers, as indicated in the design. The coat-sleeve has a deep cuff falling over the seam of the sleeve and wider at the bottom. 1. front 2. back 3. side-body 4. sleeve ------ brought to you by La Couturière Parisienne (webmistress @marquise.de) http://www.marquise.de Copyright 1999, 2000 by A.
