I have the book but will have to search it out later. The volume is more a
history about "Godey's Lady book", one of the leading fashion journals of
the 19th Century.
What is the approximate year of the hood you are trying to make?I am aware
that this small history book also has illustrations taken from the larger
year books of the magazine itself. If I knew the year, I could look it up in
the original. (I have a sizable library of Godey's, Peterson's, Arthur's,
and the Delinator) Also, do not forget the Costume Library (Penny
Lardniere) as a resource.

Subject: [h-cost] Mr. Godey's Ladies
Does anyone have this book? I'm trying to pattern the hood on page 63. I
started out with a simple hood and figured it looks like it is drawn up in
the back to form the pleats. If so, I can't figure out what holds it in
place other than a fitted lining underneath and that just seems more
complex than it probably is, but maybe I'm wrong. It's from the 1850s-60s
before the complex bustle draping came in.
If you don't have the book and are interested in looking at the picture, I
can take a photo and upload it somewhere. Do we have a place for this
list to do so?
