Godey's Lady's Book is a monthly American fashion and lifestyle magazine edited by Sarah Josepha Hale and published by Louis A. Godey in Philadelphia in 1864, aimed at middle-class women readers. Its June issue shows children's and women's garments as wood-engraved line drawings, with shaded hatching for fabric folds. A designer might take from them the layered bodices, scalloped braid borders and flared skirt silhouettes of Civil War era dress, drawn with crisp, economical linework.
