This historical study of costume provides an insight into the life styles and the role of pioneer women as they interpreted clothing into their physical a.�d utilitaria.n needs in adapting to the new frontier. The purpose of this research was to study the costume of the American women who resided in the Dakota Territory prior to the statehood of South Dakota, November 2, 1889. During the period 1861-1889, the Missouri River served as a.geographical barrier in the development of the western half of South Dakota. Therefore, this research is limited to the state of South Dakota east of the Missouri referred to as "east-river." This study dealt with a variety of women who came from diverse backgrounds. To pioneer women who migrated from surrounding areas or emigrated from other countries, clothing was one of the primary needs and a vital asset in conforming to the life style in Dakota environment. In addition, the ways in which these Dakota women fulfilled their clothing needs provides ample evidence of consumption and patterns of production. 2 The topic of pioneer dress is of growing concern to costume historians across the country; however, research in this area has been limited. This research is an effort to fill the gap of American costume of pioneer women by describing the clothing. Statement of the Problem High fashion from 1861 to 1889 was elaborate both in style and use of fabric and trims. Since ready-made clothing was very limited and Dakota Territory was undeveloped in urba..� and rural areas during this period, providing clothing and keeping up with fas�ion meant having the necessary skills, equipment and supplies to make garments. Since this period begins

The final considerations for a consumer’s experience with Libertie products revolve around a strong preservation of the brand’s visual identity. At the same time however, care is taken to express a balance with neutrality where neccessary, allowing the product on display to speak for itself as a universal and transformative belief, simultaneously flashy yet disciplined. This strengthens the perception of the brand as a sincere curator of the fashion that seeks to promote the consumer’s personal enjoyment of the product. libertie process book identity development 03 libertie process book identity development 04 libertie process book identity development 05 1/3x x y y y libertie process book promotional graphics development 06 The Libertie promotional graphics help consumers visualize the different archetypes to brand is seeking to broach beyond the traditional professional male stereotype.

This will give you professional results. TIP: I always increase my stitch length to 3.0 – I feel a longer topstitch length looks better. If you do this, be sure to put your stitch length back to 2.5 for regular sewing. • Gathering can be tedious - I find it easiest to turn my tension to the highest tension and my stitch length to the longest stitch. Before you start sewing, pull up the bobbin thread and pull the top thread and bobbin thread out so you have about a 5” tail before you sew.

  • 1914 Girl's Afternoon Dress Pattern Notes
    1914 Girl's Afternoon Dress Pattern Notes: I created this pattern as a companion for my women’s 1914 Afternoon Dress pattern. At right is an illustration from the 1914 Home Pattern Company catalogue. This is, essentially, what this pattern looks like if you make it up with an overskirt and cap sleeves. To get this exact look, you’d embroider the overskirt (or use eyelet), add a ruffle around the neckline and put cuffs on the straight sleeves. But the possibilities are as limitless as your imagination! Styles for little girls in 1914 had changed very little from the early Edwardian era—they just “relaxed” a bit. Sleeves and skirt styles varied somewhat over the years, but the basic silhouette remained the same. In the appendix of the print pattern, I give you several examples from clothing and pattern catalogues from 1902-1912 to show you how easy it is to take this basic pattern and modify it slightly for different years. Skirt length during the early 1900s was generally right at or just below the knee. If you make a deep hem on this pattern, that is where the skirt will hit. However, I prefer longer skirts and so made the pattern pieces long enough that the skirt will hit at mid-calf if you make a narrow hem. Of course, I always recommend that you measure the individual child for hem length. Not every child will fit exactly into one “standard” set of pattern measurements, as you’ll read below! Before you begin, please read all of the instructions.

  • "Southern Style" Mississippi Magazine
    SOUTHERN STYLE A designer with an eye for high style creates a tailor-made home for a young family. by mary neff stewart photography by tom beck MAY | JUNE 2017 103 104 MAY | JUNE 2017 Clean, crisp spaces with bespoke furnishings and a curated collection of art—these particular details were the requests from Katherine and JR Woodall concerning their new home. Fortunately, the couple knew just where to turn for these high-style incli- nations. For their previous home, the Woodalls relied upon Rivers Spencer, a Jackson native and New Orleans-based interior designer to work her magic. The pair knew that it was her classic Southern style that they desired again. Years ago, as she was polishing her design aesthetic, Rivers hung her shingle on Magazine Street in New Orleans to sell her finds—personally refinished antiques, unique accessories, and carefully selected works of art. The white, double-shotgun house showcasing Rivers’ perfectly tailored style quickly became known as a desti- nation for design lovers in the Crescent City. The studio became the headquarters for Ccreating beautiful and livable spaces for her clients throughout the South. As the Woodalls’ family began to grow, the couple searched for the perfect nest in which to spread their wings. Initially settling on a beautiful expanse of land, they met with Rivers to begin developmental planning on a new build. Able to see and expand upon Katherine’s vision, she helped to outline the establishment of their new home. When foundation issues and unforeseen problems brought the project to a screeching halt, the team regrouped and found a new suitable location.
