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.

Dog loves it.
Color: Con Leche
I use this tugger for training only. I use it to ween off treats as a reward as a playful tool. He associates it with this and this way it retains high value.

Nice appearance, lacks sturdiness in the long run
Color: Raven
Decent quality on the surface, but likely to eventually break down with aggressive tuggers or strong jawed dogs. Best for medium drive pups at best.

does not last for a chew toy
Color: Raven
did not take very long for the dog to chew this up. Even wrote to Olly Dog about the toy and never heard back from them.

Excellent quality, larger than expected, machine washable
Color: Magnolia, Color: Magnolia
It's my fault for not realizing this toy is almost as long as my 7lbs papillon lol. He is not sure what to do with it right now but having a good time trying to figure it out. I thought he and his sister would love to play with it together, but it's much firmer than I expected. This is great news for larger dogs! It is a great quality toy. It's ethically made with recycled materials by a company in Colorado and manufactured in Vietnam. It's machine washable. It's a good value and should last for a long time (even with larger dogs). It's not too heavy, but due to its size, it may not be the greatest choice for toy dogs or small puppies. Oh, and it's bright colors and pattern look awesome. My little guy is an aggressive chewer for his size and is quite toy protective, so he has already claimed this as HIS as I'm writing this. He is having fun scratching the material it's made of, chewing it, rolling around with it, carrying it around, and keeping it away from his sister (also a papillon). So, we're happy over here.
