The only silver lining to’ the dark cloud of dress goods of half a ¢entury ago was the low cost of silk, which at that time could be had as cheaply as $1 per vard for medium quality while the heavier grosgrains, moira and_brocades were priced at from $1.25 to $3 per yard. According to “Godey’s Lady Book," the arbiter of fashion in 1875, from 5§ to 32 yards of material were necessary to complete an ordinary gown. If grandma wore a party dress with a long train, then so stylish, another half dozen yards had to be added. But grandma only paid the dress- maker from $8 to $12 for making a gown: in fact. the modiste who asked $15 for making a singlé dress or wrap was considered enormously high, Only very exclusive fashioners of women’s clothes could demand this figure.
