Our readers very often ask what kind of bag should go with a formal outfit. We hope to solve this little problem here: 1. Drawstring pouch bag in silk or velvet, embroidered with gold and silver sequins, simply formed from a cylinder of fabric (1), gathered at the bottom. 2. This pouch bag in faille is sewn onto a chased silver frame. Large cabochons made of sequins. Cut from the pattern (2). 3. This very original double almoner-style bag can be made in velvet, or in fabric matching the dress. Each side is formed of a drawstring band at the top and mounted onto a round base (3). 4. New-style drawstring bag in wide satin ribbon or in fabric matching the dress. The base is square and each side (4) is trimmed with three pleats. The drawstring is made of fabric, threaded through gilt rings, and gathered into a fabric handle worn over the arm.
