Authentic Victorian Dressmaking TechniquesAt the turn of the century, ladies of privilege could easily afford their own dressmakers, and even middle class housewives occasionally employed competent seamstresses.

At the turn of the century, ladies of privilege could easily afford their own dressmakers, and even middle-class housewives occasionally employed competent seamstresses. But many women did their own sewing, often relying on Dressmaking, Up to Date, a how-to book published by the Butterick Publishing Company. First published in 1905 and widely considered the first modern American sewing book, this extremely rare volume is published here complete and unabridged.
This Butterick manual provides clear and concise instructions for altering patterns, hand-sewing stitches, and creating shirt-blouses, skirts, wedding and evening gowns, coats, jackets, maternity wear, undergarments, bathrobes, children's clothing, and many other articles of apparel. Today's costume historians and sewing enthusiasts will find fascinating instruction in such long-lost arts as boning a bodice perfectly, creating skirt sweepers and bust enhancers, concealing hooks and eyes, and other vintage dressmaking techniques.
An indispensable archive of information on late-Victorian and turn-of-the-century clothing, this volume will be of immense interest to anyone fascinated by the fashion and costume of the period. It will also be of value to needleworkers wanting to create accurate reproductions of Victorian-era costume, or to anyone interested in applying time-honored sewing techniques to a modern wardrobe.

Must buy
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Small
I've bought multiple of these for various different dogs. They've all loved them. Great for gifts or just because you want to buy. I highly recommend. Seems safe to eat. Lasts a while. It's hard then as dogs chew it, it breaks down. The shape make it easy for the dogs to use their paws to hold it.

He loves them
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
My little one goes to town on these.. I have bought several.. I get scare when he chews all of the end down and then looks like little pieces of the fiber are coming off. so I throw away and buy a new one.. at least they are cheap enough to do that for cost. He loves them and nothing else gets chewed.

I will buy this again if it ever wears out! 🦴
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
My dog loves it, he’s a Boston Terrier. Perfect size for a Boston. It is well made, doesn’t fall apart and there is no stink! Safe to let dog use by himself and good value for the money.

Only bone for my dog
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: Medium
These are the only bones my dog will chew on. He loves both the chicken and bacon flavored. I just have to watch him as if they get too small I don't let him chew and will give him a new one.

Size information reversed. Smalls are medium and mediums are small.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I love the product but the description is frustrating. I ordered the medium size bones expecting the 7 inch bones, but recieved the 5 inch bones. Apparently if you want the 7 inch bones you should choose small instead of medium. That makes no sense and is so irritating.
