So much excellent information in those sketches! And I like when they show all of the possible variations (like the sleeves for example) and any descriptive notes. Thank you for the info Julie.

Great resource--thanks for posting, Joules!

I look forward to perusing at greater length (I see that the article touches on Elisabeth Hawes' experience as a copyist, which she describes so acerbicly in Fashion is Spinach...)

Great stuff. I was fascinated by the link that talked about wealthy American women and their love of Worth's couture garments. Pics are fabulous too of course!
