Half-
parure, or winter
négligé. This Outfit is very sought-after by Ladies, in the morning when they are obliged to go out, whether to go shopping or for some other reason. It consists of a pelisse, thrown without pretension over an elegant bedgown.
The Figure shows a young Lady, dressed in a bedgown with long linen sleeves, lined with a very yellow fabric, with a matching petticoat and
volant; over the whole, a vast pink pelisse with a white
cordon, positioned negligently and not fastened. Her collar is decorated with a kerchief knotted in cravat style; medium cap with lappets pulled up in the back and trimmed with a
boiteux ribbon, which is to say, one of two non-matching colors; brush in the
coque; little muff in her hand, matching the
cordon of the pelisse. English shoes, easily maintained, and overall an air without pretention, to better impress it on the vulgar.
