Godey's Lady's Book Volume 100 January To June 1880
Godey's Lady's Book, volume 100, covering January to June 1880, was a Philadelphia monthly magazine for American women that combined fashion, fancy work, cookery, fiction and household advice. Its plates show 1880s women's dress: bustled walking costumes, lace-trimmed skirts, bonnets, gloves and corset-like bodices drawn in fine, dense engraved line. A designer could take from them the period silhouette, the layered trims and the detailed tailoring of late Victorian clothing.
