The simplicity and small number of the elements of fashion noticed last year are here evident. After a century of revolutions, we return fondly to the old form, and acknowledge the legitimacy of taste. We question whether the imagination of the modistes will ever carry them beyond this for more than a few years at a time. Here the waist is in its natural position; the downward swell of the dress accords with the laws of grace and modesty ; and, although no admissible ornament is wanting, an air of rich simplicity pervades the Whole portrait, and binds into one charm the graces of nature and art.
