Information from the back cover -
"This book consists of the finest illustrations from Harper's Bazar between the years 1867 and 1898, the period of its peak importance. These illustrations not only show you what apparel appealed to our Victorian ancestors, but give you an idea of the evolutionary nature of fashion as well. You will see bustles come and go, natural forms become the vogue only to be superseded by the constricting hourglass figure. Each look is illustrated with a number of different garments. There are gowns for the morning hours, dinner dresses, sporting costumes, traveling clothes and apparel for special occasions: weddings, communions, funerals, etc. Since no costume was complete without accessories, a full line of hats, fans, parasols, muffs, gloves, handkerchiefs, jewelry, shoes and hair styles is shown as well. A selection of children's attire is also included. An introduction by Stella Blum covers the history of Harper's Bazar and examines the various phases fashion went through between 1867 and 1898."

Frequently Asked Questions
Wholesale availability
Wholesale pricing is available on certain ribbons and options are already within the listings.
Combined shipping for multiple orders
YES! I always combine orders and refund excess shipping - no need to contact me - I do it automatically.
Can you make me a special ribbon?
Minimum orders for jacquard ribbon from my factory start at 1000yds. I can certainly assist with this process but this is only for serious inquires. NO ONE will make you a personal jacquard ribbon for just a few yards but there are several companies on Etsy that offer to make ribbons in lesser quantities. Contact me with any questions.
Do you have faster shipping services?
I offer shipping upgrade options which you can choose your from your cart if needed. Upgrades are quoted HIGH since I don't know the weight of the order till it's been submitted but excess monies will be refunded. Upgrades are NOT REFUNDABLE if you choose to return an item. Please note that a shipping upgrade speeds up the delivery time but does not mean I will drop other orders to get your order out faster. For faster service please see the "Expedite My Order" listing:

My order is showing "Pre-Transit" - what does that mean?
The postal service is dealing with issues regarding personnel shortages and high volumes of mail.
Until the packages are collected and scanned, "Pre-transit" means your package is somewhere waiting to move. Patience over delivery times is crucial - I believe everyone is doing their very best.
How fast do you ship out orders?
Most ship within 1-3 days but I try to ship ASAP which means sometimes they go out the same day. I leave myself an extra day as life can get in the way of living and many orders take time.
Who pays return shipping if I change my mind?
Despite Etsy's policy that the buyer pays return shipping
I PAY RETURN SHIPPING FEES IN THE USA. Depending upon how much of the order you return I will "pro-rate" the return shipping. If you return the entire order I pay all costs. If you return part of the order then we will share in the expense. Contact me if you want to know more.
The reason for the return is not important - if you don't love it then I want it back. Someone else can use it! Request a return and a pre-paid label will be issued. It's a simple, fast & easy process for the buyer. Special order ribbons are not returnable so please request a free sample to be sure it will work for you.
NOTE: Shipping upgrades are not refundable.
International Sales Taxes
The buyer is responsible for any and all import taxes connected their sale. Each country is different - I have nothing to do with these taxes.
