Godey's Lady's Book December 1864

Louis A. Godey, Sarah Josepha Hale · 1864 · 12 pictures

Godey's Lady's Book for December 1864 was a Philadelphia monthly fashion and literary magazine by Louis A. Godey and Sarah Josepha Hale, aimed at middle-class American women. Its engraved plates show garments and accessories of the Civil War period: a hooded cloak with a tied bow, a lace-trimmed bonnet with flowers, a pleated skirt with scalloped hem, and a ruffled blouse with puffed sleeves. A designer could take from these the tailored silhouettes, pleating patterns and lace-edged detailing of mid-nineteenth-century dress.
