sound correct? Does anyone have images that they can share for the
1840's, women's gowns and bonnets? What fabrics would have been
appropriate at different socioeconomic levels? What colors? Both
bonnets and gowns. :-)
Thank you so much.

I have several fashion plates from this period on my Fotopic site
here http://suziclarke4384.fotopic.net/c382113.html
I apologise for the lack of order - I entered them in chronological
order, but Fotopic shuffled them when I wasn't looking! I have more,
I think, which have not made it to the site, so if you need more mail
me off list.
