Cinq-Mars.—(M. de Versailles.)
The garters, now worn like a scarf round the knee, have the ends adorned with point. A large rosette of lace completes the costume of the epoch (Fig. 68).
Gold lace shared the favour of the thread fabric on gloves,[[425]] garters and shoes.[[426]]
"De large taftas la jartière parée
Aux bouts de demy-pied de dentelle dorée."[[427]]
The cuffs, collars of the ladies either falling back or rising behind their shoulders in double tier, caps, aprons descending to their feet (Fig. 69), are also richly decorated with lace.
