| Ladies of the Civil War |
| The well-to-do ladies of the North and South dressed in the latest fashions from England and France as illustrated in "Goudey's Lady's Book" and "Harper's Bazar." They depicted hoop skirts four to six feet across formed by a bell shaped wire cage covered in crinoline. Silk taffeta was used for party dresses, and for street attire, the usual material would be velvet in winter, and satin in summer. Low cut ball gowns were lavished with lace ribbons and decorative silk flowers, while the street attire had braided tape decorations on the jacket edges and the bottom of the skirt. The hat was also decorated with a ribbon, and sometimes feathers. |
