Too Fat?
Home Chat 1895/6
NO! It's just my sleeves. I have actually made an outfit very similar to this one, there was a whole yard of fabric gathered into the upper sleeve that required stiff netting inside to keep its shape!

The Mists and Mazes of Politics
This is not a blog for my opinions but clearly the magazines of 1894 (Home Notes) hoped to shape the opinions of the women they were aimed at. As I leaf through looking for patterns to photograph occasionally other stuff just jumps out at me.
Many of the articles are written by someone with a female name but these two are not signed, coming under the heading of 'Fireside Talks' and showing a line drawing of two women chatting by the fire... Home Notes was edited by 'Isobel' according to the cover. Mmm I wonder, Mr C Arthur Pearson (publisher) if both opinions might be yours?
