| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines how fashion and femininity came to be aligned through the text and images in American women’s and fashion magazines during the late 19th and early 20th century. The pattern diagrams and paper patterns published in these publications not only helped promote the garment industry and haute couture as a whole, but also served as a new model for women’s behavior. In effect, the patterns formed new habits, encouraging women to follow fashion. In addition to conveying fashion-related information, the magazines became an apparatus for establishing women’s identities through the consumption of patterns and the making of clothing.
