(Fashionable ladies have come from the NYPL Digital Gallery.)

At 12:30pm on Wednesday, Sept. 26th, Paula Baxter will teach a free class at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library on how to make the most out of the collections here (including electronic resources!) related to the history of fashion. There’s also mention of pattern books, and I’m particularly curious about these. For example, NYPL has a large run of Vogue Pattern Books and I can only imagine what vintage patterns await within. I’ll be at the class, and you should come too. Either way, I’ll share what I learn!
