Superbly rendered illustrations, adapted from Godey's Lady's Book, a popular nineteenth-century fashion magazine, provide authentic views of evolving Victorian fashions—from lace-edged necklines and elongated bodices to fitted bonnets and extravagant bustles. Thirty plates depict lavish dresses, gowns, and coats as well as accessories. A must-have for coloring book fans, costume designers, and cultural historians.
