Metropolitan Fashions of the 1880s

Over 790 finely detailed illustrations from a vintage catalog—one of the first of its kind—in which patterns were offered for stylish ladies’ coats, dresses, jackets, children’s clothing, sailor costumes, cloaks and much more. Captions describe garment, pattern size and cost, yardage required, and fabric and trim best suited to the item. For costume historians and Victoriana enthusiasts.
