This image puzzled me for days when I first saw it on Pinterest. Why would a Victorian photographer take a picture of this group facing the wrong way? Was it an accident? A modern photoshopped joke…

One Pattern for all your Petticoat needs! Possibly the most ubiquitous female garment in every time period is the petticoat. In the 19th century, skirts went truly mad. The round skirts of the 1830s and 40s expanded to great widths in the 1850s and the petticoats provided shape and support. By the 1860s, the bulk began to shift backwards and petticoats changed to match. This pattern includes them all in their nearly infinite variety! Plain. Corded. Flounced. Crinoline. Based on original garments from the 1830s through the 1860s. Note: This pattern is for the petticoats (white on the cover art) only. This pattern does not include corset or chemise. Fits all waist sizes Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you've come to expect from Reconstructing History. Suggested Fabrics: cotton Notions: thread; buttons, or hooks and eyes for front for closure; twill tape Yardage Requirements: 4-6 yards of at least 40"/1m wide fabric

The parlor was the best room in the house, and had the best chance of having a decorated ceiling. Wallpapers could be bought in suites including a wall pattern, a matching border (frieze) for the top of the wall, and an all-over pattern for the ceiling. Very elegant papers might be designed with even more optional accessory patterns, like a rosette to be installed around the base of the chandelier.
