Fashion Plates
Fashion plates were included in magazines and periodicals
of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, such as Godey's,
Peterson's and Harper's Bazar. These images were published
to inform the ladies of the fashion for the season and to
inspire them to create gowns in these styles.
Often it was possible to obtain patterns
of the gowns featured in the fashion plates.
|
Fashion Plates are drawings or steel engravings
that were created in both full color plates
as well as black and white.
Some examples of actual full sheet
Fashion Plates can be seen in the plate to the right
and in the display page below.
The Fashion Plates that I have chosen for my website
are only full color plates and have been cropped
from their original page to better display
the fashion of the time period and not the
entire plate.
