The nineteenth century was a period of continuous change for women's clothing in England. The growing prosperity of the merchant class meant an ever-larger number of women for whom "dress" was a principal function in life, while the increasing availability of lower-priced ready-made garments enabled women of moderate means to purchase the fashions of the day. In addition, the development of the railways spurred the spread of new goods, while the removal of the tax on papers in 1854 produced an abundance of fashion magazines at cheap prices, bringing news of the latest styles to the multitudes.
The magnificent array of ladies' fashions that characterized the century are on display in this remarkably complete decade-by-decade overview. Drawing almost exclusively on contemporary sources — fashion magazines, newspapers, rare period photographs, memoirs, Victorian novels, periodicals, and other publications, as well as firsthand observation of actual garments — the author describes and explains the couture that evolved in response to changing social conditions, technological innovations, and cultural developments.
Over 1,100 line and tone drawings and photographs depict hundreds of outfits ranging from lovely morning dresses and starkly attractive riding outfits to elegant carriage costumes, opulent evening dresses, and exquisite bridal gowns. Full-page plates also depict period millinery, footwear, underclothing, and other apparel, while three useful glossaries provide descriptions of materials, definitions of technical terms, and more.
Museum curators, vintage clothes collectors, and fashion historians will find this carefully researched and well-written book an indispensable tool for dating, identifying, and authenticating vintage clothing. Not only are styles described and illustrated in detail for each year; all the small details of construction by which specimens can be dated are given wherever possible. Moreover, designers, illustrators, and fashion enthusiasts will be delighted by the superbly detailed illustrations, which painstakingly document the fashionable finery of the Victorian era.

Reprint of the Faber & Faber, London, 1937 edition.

Great protective case with a sleek design
Color: White
This iPad case fits perfectly and looks very clean and modern. The clear back keeps the iPad visible while the frame provides good protection around the edges. The case feels sturdy without adding too much bulk. I really like the built-in pencil holder—it keeps the Apple Pencil secure and easy to access. The auto sleep/wake feature works well, and the cover folds nicely to support different viewing angles for typing or watching videos. Overall, this is a great quality case that offers good protection and functionality. I would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a simple, protective, and well-designed iPad cover.

Love the color of this case! Does my iPad perfectly which is great so it protects it. Not heavy. Super easy to take off and on. Scratch resistant as I’ve had this for a while and there’s minimal scratches if any at all that I can see. Feels super soft and sleek.
