Godey's Lady's Book - Fashion Ideas and News 1860-1870

   Dear Reader,

This is the first Issue of our book and I am fairly new so our next issue will be longer with more text. There was a shortage of paper this week due to the war, but I would much rather have our soldiers using it and us to learn to do without. Fabric has also been in short supply, but we will manage. I recently attended a wedding where I was a bridesmaid and we wore the most lovely shade of pink...if only we had colored tintypes! I shall try and get a picture of it, but alas those are so hard to come by.

Thank you for reading the first post...by next week I shall have posted more pictures and fashion ideas...but for now I must go. There is much to be done .

                                    respectively yours,

                                                           Miss Salina Hastings

P.S.     If you have a question regarding fashions of our era please write to me at this address and I shall get back to you as soon as time allows. I do not post or respond on Mondays due to my volunteer work at the hospital...thank you for being understanding.
