 bodice, laced with red and gold; red silk handkerchief on the head, a tambourine hung at the side. Or, crimson and green brocade, trimmed with gold coins.

TANGIERS, LADY OF. This is an effective dress. The turban is of bright orange silk, coming well over the fore-head, the ends falling at the back, large pendent jewels hanging on either side, and intermingling with the huge ring earrings; the jacket of velvet has short sleeves, and opens in a circular form to show a stomacher, which like the jacket is a mass of embroidery; transparent hanging sleeves; long embroidered skirt; many-coloured silk scarfs about the waist; bead necklace, and gold and bead bracelets.

TEAZLE, LADY (School for Scandal). A poudré costume of the Georgian period made with sacque; old brocade and satin suitable. For example: Body and train of cream-coloured brocade; petticoat of lemon satin, trimmed with old point lace, Marshal Neil roses, brown leaves; ornaments, pearls and diamonds. Lady Teazle, in the screen scene, might wear a dress of pale Venetian-red silk, opening over a petticoat entirely covered with plaitings of yellowish lace; stomacher of lace and red ribbons; full neckerchief of cream silk Indian muslin, with double plaitings of the lace, tied in a large knot in front, and fastened with paste brooch, and cluster of pale yellow flowers; either a large cream lace hat, lined with Venetian-red, or a lace head-dress, like that of Miss Gunning in Sir Joshua's portrait; Watteau fan; cream mousquetaire gloves; high-heeled shoes of the Venetian-red with diamond buckles; black velvet with diamond clasp round throat; a cane might be carried in hand. Or, a white satin sacque with brocaded stripes; the petticoat embroidered in crystal and iridescent beads festooned with yellow roses. In the screen scene, amber Incroyable coat lined with pale blue satin, having paste buckles. One of the prettiest of the many gorgeous dresses worn by Marie Wilton in the character was as follows: Satin skirt, with a cascade of lace down the front; a train of light brocade elaborately trimmed with lace, also en cascade; a sacque at back; heart-shaped bodice; pendent elbow-sleeves; a small wreath of roses and aigrette on one side of the powdered hair; satin pointed shoes; long gloves; pearls round the neck, a miniature hanging in front.
