St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missouri, July 5, 1896

The above shows the gift of some London working girls, pupils in a dressmaking class, at the People’s Palace, to Princess Maud, who is to wed Prince Christian of Denmark. It is a Louis Quatorze coat of rich white satin of English manufacture. The revers, gauntlet cuffs, and deep collar are of silver brocade. The sleeves are made with full puffs to the elbows, and below the cuffs are frills of dainty embroidered chiffon. Waterfall frills of chiffon partially hide the full vest of white satin.
