Question hi i was woundering in the 19th century, how fashion designers make there clothes????
Answer Hi Ashley,
Fashion was an issue limited more to the propertied upper classes at the time. There were no large fashion houses like those that exist today. Wealthier members of society would be fashion setters. Most fashions in America came from London or Europe. In the days before sewing machines or standardized clothing sizes, clothes were tailored individually by local tailors or seamstresses.
