mariaslozak: Winter dresses designed by Madame Olmer, outdoor garments by Madame Mounier, and bonnets by Mademoiselle Lucile Laborde, as seen in a mid-1840s fashion plate from Les Modes Parisiennes.Lucile Laborde took over the Parisian millinery shop of Madame Huguenet-Lejay around 1846; it was located on Rue de Richelieu. In December 1846 Les Modes Parisiennes spoke of Laborde as a milliner of the first rank - “au premier rang de nos modistes en renom” (in France a modiste was a milliner, not a dressmaker).Madame Olmer appears to have moved her atelier a few times in the mid-1840s, but advertisements show that she always kept as close as she could to the vicinity of one of the grand boulevards of Paris, Boulevard Montmartre. I’ve not been able to find anything definitive about Madame Mounier. -- source link
