The World of fashion and continental feuilletons (1879-1880)
I have seen this in Patterns of Fashion 2 for years so it’s nice to be able to put it in context!
There is also a skirt pattern that shows the top and tailing cutting layout but also the curved upper section for fitting over the hips!
And this section is repeated a few times, handy for those who were collecting the magazines by month!
Plate 178 has a style I love, the self trimmed gown, the vertical folds at the neck.
Maybe I can do this with my princesse petticoat? It would make it so very much more useful!
There are other columes online too!
