| Research Abstract |
In my research on the representation of the seamstress in American and British society of the 19th century, I came to the following conclusions. First, during the 1840s, an era which saw the mechanization of spinning and other developments in the textile industry, the seamstress should be seen as a symbol of social desire that formed a connection between femininity and fabric. Second, the emergence of magazine articles on home sewing and the decline of the seamstress encouraged female readers to adopt customs such as "sewing, dressing, and observing themselves." Thus, the representation of sewing women, including seamstresses, symbolizes the changing relationship between women and fashion culture in 19th America.
