Lady in a Polish-style dress,'Lady in a Polish-style dress,in striped taffeta,ornamented with gauze,as she replaces her garter and reveals a beautiful leg'. Description This polonaise is useful for morning and country wear,being attractive,light and casual; the skirts can be lifted high and it is made of light Indian striped taffeta with a net flounce. The polonaise had an open corsage,and a skirt of three rounded panels,short at the side and long at the back. The hat is in the tambourine style,of the same material as the dress,with three rows of pearls; three rows of curls caress the ears,which should be uncovered when they are pretty.
