I’ve had my eye on these swan earrings from We Dream in Colour for ages, and I finally got them! Love supporting a Black-owned independent jewelry business. https://t.co/n8smeAxKoN

@CoraCHarrington Yep and to complete strangers. Strangers that I highly doubt they’d have that same energy for in person. I’ve never had anyone talk to me in person the way some people tweet at me.

There’s more in the book, including a lot of price data (my favorite) as well as portrayals of dressmaking in plays and novels, but these were some of the things I found most interesting. A really good addition to my library.

3 chemisettes
6 stomachers
3 dozen pairs gloves
6 pairs white satin shoes
6 pairs boots
Several pairs clogs

The first dressmakers trade journal, published 1871, contained coded advertisements for abortifacients (“female pills”) and contraceptive advice (booklets with titles like “Advice to the Married Woman”), which gives insight into the level of trust between dressmaker and client.

While 1 gown for a wealthy woman could take up to 22 yards of silk, a poor woman had to give up literally everything except the clothes on her back if she needed “poor relief.” One widow was left w/ only 1 extra shift + 1 extra petticoat apart from what she was already wearing.

Though dressmaking was seen as an acceptable occupation because it was an extension of a woman’s domestic skills, there was still stigma attached to a woman actually running business, so the “shop” would often be disguised as an extension of the home.
