dancing dress — either of mousseline,

or of figured velvet. All these dresses are covered by a belted redingote, or by wide coats topped with dyed furs, their sleeves supple and wide at the top, narrowing at the wrists.

In this collection, let us not forget that in taking our inspiration from the new fashion, a woman must before all else keep her own personality, and take care over harmony, avoiding the colors and the styles that do not become her. A fair complexion chooses the dark colors, while the dark complexion, on the contrary, chooses the bright ones; the plump woman selects the loose-hanging dress and shuns fussy details and burdensome coats, preferring black above any other — and let it be sparing of ornament, trimmed with simple buttons, while flowers upon it should serve merely as a keepsake.

It is for you, Madam, to choose the cut that makes your dress the right one, like so many of its kind: a single piece, whether finished with a single pocket and an open or a buttoned collar. Know, then, how to bring out one side of your dress, or let it carry pleats in the back, without multiplying artifice in it; and if you are lavish with the bodice, let the skirt be light. Thus you will captivate hearts and astonish every eye, and create harmony in your toilette. And these merits, Madam, have moved everyone to acknowledge that the Lebanese woman, like the Parisienne, holds first place in fashion.
