Walking dresses

Walking dresses

Two walking dresses, both show a wider silhouette with extremely full skirts, capes, and bonnets trimmed with ribbons, lace, and grapes on the left one. The left dress appears to have a fitted bodice with lace color and matching wrap with ruffled edges, long sleeves with lace trim near the wrists, and a full skirt with numerous flounces. The right outfit has a cape with an intricate design and fringe along the edge over a dress with a lace collar, long sleeves trimmed in lace, and a skirt trimmed with rickrack and tassels.
