Le Petit écho de la mode, vol. 20, no. 24, 12 juin 1898, Paris. Sautoir Lakmé. Garniture de ceinture. 1. Toilette de promenade. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

Sautoir Lakmé. Après le succès obtenu par notre sautoir Sapho et les nombreux compliments que nous recevons de toutes parts pour cette gracieuse parure, nous continuons à offrir à nos aimables lectrices les nouveautés que la Mode édite en ce genre. Voici un vrai bijou pour les jeunes filles: c’est un sautoir fait d’une seule ganse de soie noire et de motifs en perles turquoise entourés de perles d’acier qui sert à retenir une montre, un crayon, etc. Ce délicieux sautoir est offert au prix minime de 1 fr. 65 franco.

Dans un autre ordre d’idées, voici une parure de robes qui, jusqu’à présent, n’était pas abordable à toutes les bourses, vu sa qualité supérieure et sa suprême élégance. Nous avons, dans ce cas, traité avec une des premières maisons de Paris, et nous sommes heureux d’offrir, au prix de 3 fr.75 franco, une joli parure de ceinture en véritable acier fin composé de: une agrafe (dont notre gravure ne donne qu’un faible aperçu) et trois boucles que l’on coule derrière et sur les côtés sur une ceinture droite en ruban de velours ou défaille. Un délai de 8 jours nous est nécessaire pour la bonne exécution des commandes.

Robe en batiste, guipure de Gênes et satin. La jupe, coupée d une seule pièce, est garnie dans le bas de trois entre-deux poses à clair laissant voir le transparent du fond de jupe. Le corsage, gracieusement drapé à gauche sous un bijou de strass, est garni d entre-deux, le haut décolleté sur un empiècement de guipure posé sur un transparent; dos tendu, col droit et ruche, tour de taille en ruban fermé par une boucle en acier, manche garnie d’un volant de dentelle. Toquet en paille garni d'ailes et de tulle, bijou de strass.

Lakmé necklace. After the success obtained by our Sapho necklace and the numerous compliments that we received for this graceful adornment, we continue to offer our kind readers the new fashions in this style. Here is a real piece of jewelry for young girls: it is a necklace made of a single black silk braid and turquoise bead patterns surrounded by steel beads which is used to hold a watch, a pencil, etc. This delicious sautoir is offered at the low price of 1.65 francs.

On another note, here is a set of accessories which, until now, was not affordable for all budgets, given its superior quality and supreme elegance. In this case, we have dealt with one of the leading houses in Paris, and we are happy to offer, at the price of 3.75 francs, a pretty belt set in real fine steel composed of: a clasp (including our engraving gives only a faint glimpse) and three loops that run behind and on the sides on a straight belt of velvet ribbon or faille.

Dress in cambric, Genoa guipure and satin. The skirt, cut in one piece, is trimmed at the bottom with three light inserts revealing the transparency of the skirt bottom. The bodice, gracefully draped on the left under a rhinestone jewel, is garnished with insets, the high neckline on a guipure yoke placed on a transparent; stretched back, straight collar and ruffle, ribbon waistline closed with a steel buckle, sleeve trimmed with a lace ruffle. Straw toquet garnished with wings and tulle, rhinestone jewel.

Matériaux: 12 métrés de batiste, 15 mètres d’entre-deux, 0m35 de guipure et de satin blanc, 4 mètres de ruban.
