Le Couturiere Parisienne
"These pages have, in the beginning, been dedicated to the fashion of the late 19th and early 20th century, especially to sewing patterns, the reason being that all my original (i.e. copyright-free) sources were from those eras. It was the lack of such material, and my own difficulties finding any, outside expensive books, that gave me the idea of sharing whatever I had via the internet."
