A Unique Sack - "...no woman should appear unattractive about the home." Vicks Magazine 1906

"Everything in the way of negligees and matinees is light and dainty and with the wide variety of fabrics and designs no woman should appear unattractive about the home. The fashion for all that is Japanese in negligees and wraps has introduced the lines of the Mandarian robe into the daintiest of tea jackets."

A Dainty Lingerie Blouse - 1906

However, "The present blouse is as fine and elaborate as human fingers can fashion".

A Small Nightdress from 1906.

All that work, for a nightgown. But what a lovely thing. It will "give much more satisfaction than the gown bought ready made."
