Continuing some of the beautiful French images from La Miroir Des Modes, here are two pretty fashion prints from May, 1908.
Enjoy!

June 11, 2013 at 4:30 pm (11 years ago)Hi, Lauren, here are rough translations for your latest Miroir des Modes posts:
The May dresses are (green) reseda (pine?)-green voile, with guimpe (blouse) of batiste and lace, and (lilac) in begonia-color chiffon, with an embroidered filet (the bit that looks like a dickey).
2nd page:
1. Empire[-style] gown in cornflower-blue mousseline (muslin?), with black soutache braid and lace.
2. Priwinkle-blue linen with embroidered “filet” with long sleeves.
3. #2029 (4th dress) without the over-blouse
4. Skirt (or jumper; I *think* “jupe” has an accent, which would change the meaning a little) in lead-gray liberty-crepe, with blouse in batiste and lace.
(Batiste in French means what we mean by it, BTW. So does crepe.)
The text is:
. . . over the hem, which allows the second chemisette to be made of transparent [fabric] if it is used.
The 7-gore skirt may be made with a small train or round, it measures 4 meters 60 [cm] around the lower part in the medium sizes.
Trimmings of galloon (braid), of bands of silk-satin or –velvet are always highly favored by current fashion.
Pattern no. 2025 is sold in 6 sizes, from 81 to 107 cm bust. For 91-cm bust the construction of the “blouson” [I think that’s the jumper/waistcoat part] and skirt requires 7 meters 90 of 70-cm-wide fabric, or 4 meters 70 of 110-cm-wide, with in both cases 1meter 60 of fabric in 70 cm. for the piecing of the sleeves and the side-pieces, and 60 cm of 52-cm-wide silk for the belt.
Skirt 2029 and blouse 1373 are described on page [329, I think?]
