The white drapery has a peculiarly good effect, placed as it is between the skin and richly-colored bodice. As examples of this style of dress, we may refer to Sir Charles East- lake's "Pilgrims in Sight of Rome," "The Grape Gatherer of Capri," by Lehmann, and "The Dancing 4 26 DRESS, AS A FINE ART, Lesson," by Mr. Uwins, all of which are engraved in the Art Joiirnal. Another hint may be borrowed from the Italian costume ; we may just allude to it en 2Mss(mt. If bodices fitting to the shape mus...t be worn, they should be laced across the front in the Italian fashion. Fig. 38. By this contrivance the dress will suit the figure more perfectly, and as the lace may be lengthened or shortened at pleasure, any degree of tightness may be given, and the bodice may be accommodated to the figure without compressing it. We find by the picture in the Louvre called sometimes "Titian's Mistress" that this costume is at least as old as Titian. We have noticed the changes and transitions of fashion ; we must mention one point in which it has continued constant from the time of William Rufus until the present day, and which, since it has en- tailed years of suffering, and in many instances has caused death, demands our most serious attention.
