********************************
Casaque of Cloth, September 1874
********************************

This casaque is for morning and promenade wear, and should be 
made of the same material as the costume worn with it, or of
ladies' cloth. The fronts are buttoned from neck downward, and 
the basques, on the contrary, are left open to the waist, and
trimmed. The front, under the arm, wraps over on to the under-
basque, and has the effect of being buttoned there. The longest 
part of the under-basque is in the centre of the back; it must
be sewn to a waistband, and tacked inside, under the upper-basque. 
The upright collar is narrowed toward the front. The ornament upon
the sleeve matches the pocket.


1. half of front
2. half of back
3. half of under-basque
4. half of sleeve
5. pocket
6. half of collar
