| Our object, in this department, is to teach every
lady how to make her own and her children’s dresses, if she desires
to do so, or is situated so that a mantua-maker is difficult to be
had. Nor is our purpose confined to instructing the fair readers of
“Peterson” to make only their more expensive and showy garments. We
are well aware that it is often more difficult to get patterns for
articles of under-clothing, than for cloaks, party dresses, or
fashionable wraps. Accordingly we give, in this number, the pattern
for a night-cap, accompanied with the usual diagram. With the aid of
these, any lady can cut out and make up this indispensable article,
trimming it afterward as in the pattern, or differently if her taste
prefers a different style of trimming. from Peterson's Magazine March 1859, page 242 |
