Civil War Fashions - Engravings from 1864 Ladies Friend Magazine

<B>I have a group of loose sheets from the Ladies Friend Magazine. There are beautiful engravings of then current fashions with trims, hats, embroidery and even hair styles. There are also a few sheets showing music and those have dates of 1864-5. So these are what was being worn during the Civil War.<br> I am always amazed at the detail and effort what went into clothing. Just consider the trimmings alone, and the large amounts that would be needed. Even of a simple line of crochet had to trim a huge skirt. And so much done by hand. Including everything being washed by hand. Hard to believe.<br> <br> I have quite a few of these pages so I'll post them over several days. I hope any readers with more knowledge about clothing from this era teach us more. <br> Take a moment to see all the details. Right click on the image and choose "Open in New Window". Then, to see even closer click once more. (Close that window to return)<p> <a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesFriend1864-5-4.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesFriend1864-5-4.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesFriend1864-5-3.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesFriend1864-5-3.jpg" width="400"></a><br>For more information about Mantles check <a href="img" src:=""> here</a> and a Paletot <a href="http://www.fashion-era.com/Coats_history/pelisse_history_1.htm"> here</a>.</B><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesFriend1864-5-2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/LadiesFriend1864-5-2.jpg" width="400"></a><br>
