Free Fashion Graphic: 1859 Women's Dress Fashion of 4 Victorian Dresses

This is a beautiful 1859, Victorian dress fashion graphic from a Godey's Fashion book. The fabric patterns are stunning and as big as those skirts! These ladies seem to be having a lovely afternoon visiting with one another. They seem to be having a wonderful and engaging conversation. In fact, they are so engaged they are ignoring the poor little child standing behind them. She apparently has something important to say, as she has her hand raised; however, as the saying goes, children should be seen and not heard. And, by the look of this child's outfit, the saying is certainly true. Poor thing! I wonder what she has to say. Enjoy!
