Robe de dessous en faye vert lumière. Le bord inférieur est garni d'un volant ayant 25 centimètres de hauteur, surmonté d'une ruche chicorée; sur chaque côté cette ruche se sépare, forme un angle droit et remonte jusqu'à la ceinture, de façon à simuler une seconde robe, tandis que le volant représente la robe dessous. Tunique faite avec un crêpe de chine blanc, brodé de fleurs de couleur; la frange du châle sert de garniture à la tunique. Celle-ci est relevée à l'aide de ruches en faye verte de façon à former un très-large pouff par derrière. Ceinture verte se fermant sous un chou assorti. Corsage décolleté en faye vert, recouvert de gaze blanche, et bordé ainsi que les manches courtes de ruches en dentelle. Coiffure de roses thé et roses.

Robe de dessous en pékin rouge à raies satinées, garnie d'un volant coupé en biais ayant 40 centimètres de hauteur. Robe de dessus en cachemire noir brodé, garnie d'une frange noire. Mantelet pareil à la robe, croisé par devant et à revers, fixé par derrière de façon que les pans forment une sorte de tournure assez volumineuse. Le corsage, ouvert, est en cachemire noir. Les manches sont à revers brodés comme ceux du mantelet.

Underdress in light green faye. The lower edge is trimmed with a ruffle 25 centimeters high, topped with a chicory ruffle; on each side this ruffle separates, forms a right angle and goes up to the belt, so as to simulate a second dress, while the ruffle represents the dress underneath. Tunic made with white crepe de chine, embroidered with colored flowers; the fringe of the shawl serves as trim for the tunic. This is raised using green faye ruching so as to form a very large pouff from behind. Green belt closing under a matching collar. Low-cut bodice in green faye, covered with white gauze, and edged as well as the short sleeves with lace ruffles. Tea rose and rose hairstyle.

Underdress in red pekin with satin stripes, trimmed with a bias-cut ruffle measuring 40 centimeters in height. Top dress in embroidered black cashmere, trimmed with black fringe. Mantle similar to the dress, crossed at the front and at the cuff, fixed at the back so that the sides form a sort of rather voluminous turn. The open bodice is in black cashmere. The sleeves have embroidered cuffs like those of the mantlet.

*1869 A letter tucked into Baby Angelo’s pocket*

If you are reading this, it all went pear shaped for me.

I forgot just how backward and superstitious these people were. I was just looking for a circus. Someone said there was a circus owner named Mr. Wednesday. I asked if it was @god-wednesday

They called me a witch.

I suppose reacting like Jesus in the temple didn’t help but…….I thought they called me a bitch.

They locked me in something they call the “devils box”. I’ve tried everything to get out, but I can’t. They keep telling me the “God Slayer” is coming. This doesn’t bode well, I’m afraid.

@the-metatron I’ve sent @baby-angelo back to you because I can’t keep him safe. Husband if you love me, if you have ever loved me,and by all that is holy or unholy I do….care for you, please keep him with you and safe. Tell him I love him. Tell Angelo when he gets back that his Momma loved him more than he will ever know.

@mr-crawleigh is headed for the Wednesday circus looking for @angelo-rib-shack and @e-w-w-morningstar we know they are there.

Met, I have given Thom instructions on how Angelo can bring them all back to you once he finds them.

@angelo-chuck-wagon I don’t think you meant for all this to happen. I know you. I love you. Hug and kiss your sister @kleenexwoman and brothers @sliceocheese @methuselah-son-of-enoch for me.

@dream-of-pain , Madam. I…I will miss you. 💔
