Mme. Demorest's Catalogue - 1880-01
Autumn and Winter

This collection of images comes from a catalogue of mail-order patterns that was lent to me by my friend, Emma. Because there were so many plates in this publication, I have only included the examples of women's dress and underwear in my main gallery. But if you are interested in researching outerwear, accessories, or children's clothing, you can check out the original full-page scans here (be warned - they are pretty big):


Ladies' Jackets and Coats






Ladies' Basques







Ladies' Waists



Ladies' Trains and Skirts






Ladies' Walking Costumes and Toilets






Ladies' Overskirts





Ladies' Polonaises





Ladies' Under-garments
