How pretty this young girl appears wearing a recreation of an 1895 Victorian dress. This charming Victorian dress has been transformed from an original 1895 pattern to be an exact replica of a “Dancing School Dress” for a young girl.

This pattern was included in an 1895 issue of Harper’s Bazar as a separate thin paper supplement. These supplements rarely survived for obvious reasons, in that they were used by the reader as home dressmaking patterns to create the latest fashion styles. Read full story.
