Fashions for August, 1845. 'As jackets continue to be used with some dresses, they have been introduced to put on and off at pleasure, thus entirely changing the style of a dress, and forming two different toilettes. Leghorn bonnets continue as ever the favourites of the Parisian ladies; they are ornamented with three tips of feathers, termed panaches, or a single ostrich feather laid flat across'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
