This vintage magazine clip art features an advertisement for sale prices on Victorian women’s clothing, including: suits, skirts, jackets, traveling dresses, rain coats, etc. The ad was designed for the National Cloak and Suit Company of New York City, a company that took pride in not selling ready-made clothing but making every garment to order. The advertisement includes an illustration of a Victorian lady in a pretty dress and large hat. She is carrying a white parasol with ruffled trim.
I scanned the original advertisement from the June 1904 issue of The Delineator magazine.

can you imagine how uncomfortable that must have been to wear, WOW!
Connie, I can’t imagine it being comfortable in the least. I’m thankful that it’ isn’t our “norm” for ladies wear in our time!

I love the Go to but if never wear the dress. I have this need to breathe!
I’m happy to know you love it, Pat. It definitely is nice to be able to breathe in the clothing we wear. 🙂
