19th c. clothing: 1870-1879
This page has photos of actual 19th century garments, which I find useful for inspiration.
Most of these photos were found on eBay and antique garment dealers, like:
- Maire McLeod Elegant Vintage; also on eBay
- Karen Augusta Antique Lace & Fashion
- Antique & Vintage Dress Gallery
- FiddyBee (eBay)
- Time Travelers (eBay)
- AntiqueCandy (eBay)
Also, check out Démodé: Extant women's clothing 1750-1919.
