The magazine is originally quite large - about 10" x 14", making it difficult to scan or photograph. I've done a lot of work in restoring the images and damage. I've tried my best to keep the file size reasonable, but also the text readable, though in some places it will be difficult - the text in the original magazine is about a size 5 type to being with!
I've added links for dress patterns throughout, as well as some books and films I've found useful and inspiring. You can also download the whole thing (sans links) to keep for future reference: download the full PDF from Google Drive HERE (it's big, warning)
Please link and share as much as you like. I believe this information is at its best serving the international costuming community, so please pass the eBook around! The link to the online version with resource links is:

Thank you very much, Lauren for this PDF. I'm doing some research about Year 1880 Fashion, it will be very helpful.

This is fabulous. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by those clips you use to set your hair. What are they called, and where did you find them?
