Fashion - 60 Civil War-Era Fashion Patterns (Dover Fashion and Costumes)

Description

Book Synopsis: Assembled from vintage issues of Peterson's Magazine, a popular nineteenth-century “ladies” periodical that premiered in 1842, here is an authentic gallery of Civil War-era clothing patterns for women, children, and men. The author of many books on historic fashion, Seleshanko has compiled this new, original volume of wonderfully usable antique garment designs to delight costume designers, historians, Civil War reconstructionists, and antiques collectors alike! During the 1860s, the Civil War left Americans with shortages of all kinds — including clothing resources. Peterson's pattern diagrams were of enormous help to women who no longer had the opportunity to purchase their clothing abroad or visit their local dressmaker. This one-of-a-kind collection showcases sixty historically accurate nineteenth-century garment designs. Included are a Chemise, the Madeline Wrapper, and a Polonaise Dinner Dress for ladies…a Knickerbocker Suit and Loose Jacket and Waistcoat for boys…and a Tunic and Cape and Basquine Dress for girls…and, for men, a handsome Smoking Cap. 60 patterns. Over 300 diagrams and illustrations.
