Godey's Lady's Book, September 1868

Fig. 10.-Alpaca Bodice.  This bodice is either white or pearl gray, and trimmed with festoons of satin, blue, mauve, or light Bismark.  A tress or plait of satin conceals the raw edge of these festooned trimmings.  The sleeves are ornamented in the same manner.  This model can also be made in foulard or cashmere, and the trimmings, although arranged in the same style, can be varied.  Garibaldi bodices are trimmed this season with colors that contrast with that of the material of which they are made. 

Fig. 11.-White muslin bodice, trimmed with bands of  mauve batiste, arranged in Vandykes and ornamented with herring-bone stitch done in white cotton; mauve batiste buttons at the edge of the front band.  The trimming forms a square bertha both at the front and back of the bodice.  The festoons may be replaced by Valenciennes edging and embroidered muslin insertion if a richer style of ornamentation is desired.
