The great success which the previous practical works - adapted to the wants of the American lady and issued by me - have met with, is an assurance that this thorough treatise on a subject of absorbing interest to every lady, especially to all mothers of families, will meet with a cordial welcome.
It has been the intention of the author to so simplify the subject which she has treated as to enable all ladies who will give the work an attentive persual, to literally become their "own dressmakers." That this modest publication may enable thousands of ladies to master the details of the art of dressmaking, and thus to prove to them a very economical as well as instructive companion, is the hearty wish of, the Publisher.
