“This exquisite article of dress, for the execution of which we proceed to give instructions to our fair countrywomen, is the most unique and comfortable garment ever yet devised as a defence from the stormy blasts of our ever-varying and trying climate; and whether for yachting, driving, or the promenade, will undoubtedly rival all its predecessors.”
