Imported custom-made clothes were usually beyond the financial reach of the average middle-class American woman of a century ago; and store-bought garments were often of inferior quality. This left many women with the option of making their own clothes or hiring a seamstress.

While a number of economy-minded women did sew simple housedresses, and clothing for their children, many took favorite fashion plates to a dressmaker who would often consult patterns in a magazine such as The Voice of Fashion. The present book, compiled by costume authority Kristina Harris, painstakingly reprints a rich selection of scaled dressmaker's patterns of the 1890s, taken from rare issues of that popular, late-19th century dressmaker's journal. Featuring such fashion elements as leg-'o-mutton sleeves, high-collared necklines, long skirts, and pinched waistlines, the collection includes nearly 500 patterns and illustrations detailing 50 garments for women. Every wardrobe necessity for the Victorian lady is covered from nightgowns and wrappers for boudoir and breakfast, a riding habit and tennis outfit, to walking dresses for town and visiting, elegant dinner dresses, and elaborate evening gowns.

An introduction and brief instructions for using the patterns are also included in a volume that will not only find practical use among costume designers and students of fashion history, but will also delight browsers, Victoriana enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the evolution of clothing styles.

Not just for Christmas
Size: 36W x 33L, Color: Red
Bought these for Christmas, but they are super comfortable and very nice. I think I'll buy them in another color when I need pants. I was very impressed.

Color is awesome but material isn’t.
Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Blue, Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Blue
The color is pretty much as advertised. I wear a 33 so I order up a size and they were both too long and too big. Instead of returning them I washed them and put them in the dryer. The length after washing turned out perfect but the waist is still a little too big. It should also be noted that the quality of the material isn’t the best. After washing them this is how the pockets will look. You have to iron them each time to get them flat again. I would buy again because of the variety of colors but only at a cheaper price.

I’m happy with the jeans
Size: 40, Color: Pink
I am very satisfied with this purchase. A lot of compliments too. They fit well, stretch to the material but the skinny fit look. The quality so far is great.
