from: Les Modes Parisiennes, De Gracieuse, Le Follet, Moniteur des Dames et des Demoiselles, Allgemeine Moden-Zeitung, Le Miroir Parisien, Le Journal des Dames et des Demoiselles, Berliner-Modenblatt, hand-coloured engravings, c. 1850-1880
Starting from the 1850s, fashion magazines became more affordable and acquired a wider readership. The invention of the sewing machine around 1850 made it easier for people to make their own clothes. Ready-made garments were now also on offer, with fashion plates providing vendor addresses, such as the Maison Gagelin in Paris.
