Below the necklace is a gold chain, of an entire new pattern, with long links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shoes are of white satin, and the gloves white kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"788\" data-attachment-id=\"9640\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/2026\/05\/look-book-may-1823\/5-23-walkingai\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-23-walkingAI.png?fit=666%2C1000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"666,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"5-23-walkingAI\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-23-walkingAI.png?fit=525%2C788&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-23-walkingAI.png?resize=525%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-23-walkingAI.png?w=666&amp;ssl=1 666w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/5-23-walkingAI.png?resize=466%2C700&amp;ssl=1 466w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morning Dress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dress made partially low, of figured <em>gros de Naples<\/em> of a lavender color; next the hem at the border a full corkscrew rouleau of satin, of the same color as the dress; above which is a row of separate ornaments of rolled satin, in the Indostan style, each headed by an Indian lotos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drapery that crosses over the breast is beautifully diversified by white satin; and an elegant<em> fichu \u00e0 la Henriette<\/em> is worn underneath, surmounted by a double frill of Vandyke lace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Neglig\u00e9e <\/em>cornette of fine Mechlin lace, ornamented with full-blown roses, and ear-rings and necklace of red cornelian; gold chain with long links, and eyeglass.
