Delineator Magazine - 1888 Would You Like To Dress Stylishly?

If you do want to dress stylishly you should get your wardrobe custom made from National Cloak Company and use some of these amazing trims from the Kursheedt Manufacturing Co.!

Plan a Valentine’s Day treasure hunt. When was the last time your boyfriend searched for lost gems or a buried treasure chest? A Valentine’s Day treasure hunt can be inside the house, yard, park, neighborhood, city – or even a neighboring town or city. Prepare clues that lead him from one place to another. You can have as many as 15 clues, or as few as three. The last clue could lead to your bedroom, a candlelit bathtub full of bubbles, or a hotel room you’ve booked. Prepare the “treasure chest” with candles, music, roses, and chocolate…and have fun loving your man!

K that's awesome. When I make it I'll add pictures, but I wanted to give you some ideas because the day is coming up! I'm going to cut out some cute envelopes on my cricut, and print some clues on cute valentines paper. I'll make you guys a template, and post it later, so check back. Then I'll stuff the clues in the envelopes with maybe some candy and confetti and stuff and that last clue will lead... well, you know!

Delineator Magazine - 1888 "Ladies Four Gore Skirt" - An Inside View

Here's a chance to see the inside of one of these amazing skirts and the description from the magazine.

"No. 2375.-This skirt is portrayed made of dress goods and plainly finished. Its three dart-fitted gores and full back-breadth are shaped to produce a graceful, even hanging; and across the back-breadth two reeds are adjusted in casings and tied into curves by tapes or elastics. A belt finishes the top of the skirt, and the placket opening is made at the left side-back seam. A small pad bustle is a feature of the skirt; it is shaped in two parts that are narrowest at the top and rounding at the bottom. A filling of moss or curled hair is used, and the parts are caught together in upholstery fashion. The top of the bustle is caught to the belt.

This skirt is the fashionable shape for Autumn and Winter toilettes, and will be worn without an adjustable tournure. It accords in its hanging and in the arrangement of its pad and steels with the fashionable arrangements of drapery and also with the new styles of long top-garments. All kinds of seasonable dress good and also plain, corded, striped and figured silks, velvets, etc., will make up handsomely by the mode. Trimming may be added if desired, flat applications being especially favored.

We have pattern No. 2375 in nine sizes for ladies from twenty to thirty-six inches waist measure. To make the garment for a lady of medium size, will require five yards and three eighths of material twenty-two inches wide, or three yards and a-half thirty-six inches wide, or three yards forty-four inches wide. Of fifty-four inches wide goods, two yards and a-half will suffice. Price of pattern, 1s,. 3d. or 30 cents."
