Commissions for dresses, for her and her daughter Solange. [Marie de ROZIÈRES (1805-1865), a pupil of Chopin, was entrusted by G. Sand to be her daughter Solange's piano teacher][September 1, 1845]. She asked her to make "a way of dress for Solange", of which she sent her the drawing to be given to the dressmaker Juliette dite Anna, "plus an amazon bodice for measure. It goes very well, only it is necessary to leave fabric to widen if necessary, it is necessary to close until the top, to make a small collar similar, the sleeves similar, and the camisole also, but to make lower the bodice in front [...] The said dress must be in sheet of a pretty gray of pearl with buttons of matched silk, but in a very simple way, from the top to the bottom of the bodice and the skirt, price of the sheet 12 to 15 F. the meter. Maurice will choose it when he goes to choose my dress [...] I will make my own dress here. If by chance you do not find in sheet a pretty gray of pearl take a dark brown one "... [Mid-November 1846] She asks him to forgive her stupidity. "We found the white fur at the bottom of a camphorated box. Send Augustine's, it will serve as a model. If you are still in time, Solange asks you for two toothbrushes, hard A LITTLE, and an ivory scrubbing comb, with two sides, one fine and the other less fine. Here is a receipt for the 400F, share this with Chopin on occasion to pay for my shopping without digging into your own pockets"... Correspondence, t. VII, nos. 3230 and 3534.
