LADIES’ TAILOR. By Special Appointment to |. The Queen of England. . The Queen of Denmark. . The Empress of Russia. . The Queen of Italy. tee=s. Spring Season, 1888 HE MODELS of GOWNS and COATS designed by the Messrs T REDFERN for the ensuing season are now on exhibition, and, without doubt, are the most successful they have ever originated. There being frequent interviews and a continuous exchange of ideas between the members of the firm managing the various branches here and in Europe, ladies patronizing this house are assured that, by arrangement, the latest creations of London and Paris are placed before them here simultaneously with their production in those cities, thus ensuring a constant successeon of models, avoiding repetition, and bringing the styles right up to the latest date. Their stock of Imported Cloths is one of the largest in the United States and embraces every variety suitable for tailor-made garments—most of them are made exclusively for the Messrs. Redfern and are dyed specially to meet their re- quirements. Their Riding-Habits, with skirt cut on approved safety principles, are acknowledged by some of the fore- ° most horsewomen of both Continents to be unrivaled for style, fit and wear— every make and color of cloth suitable for these garments are to be found in their stock. Costumes furnished with appropriate Hat or Bonnet in which the prevailing colors and character of gown or coat are artistically embodied. 210 FIFTH AVENUE, «° 1132 BROADWAY, N_Y comicbooks.com
