| Billie Burke wearing a lovely white dress and large hat decorated with roses in a nearly full length publicity postcard distributed in 1905 for her appearance in The Blue Moon which played at the Lyric Theatre in London, England. The Play Pictorial No. 82 (1905): "Miss Billie Burke wears some exceedingly pretty dresses. Her first is of white mousseline de soie, the skirt edged with a number of wee frills above which the mousseline falls in scollops with embroidery at the edge, and a large medallion of roses arranged in each scollop; the bodice displays a charming little pointed cape arrangement which falls over under-sleeves of a succession of tiny frills similar to the bottom of the skirt, and these frills also form the entire bodice. The little cape is decorated with rose embroidery similar to that on the skirt, and she crowns it with a very fascinating hat of white straw with a wreath of pink roses and foliage arranged carelessly upon the brim, pink silk strings completing it." |
