I was able to find all the years from 1860 to 1869 of Peterson's Magazine on-line. I am grateful that so many libraries and schools have scanned in many of their public domain holdings.
There are some terms used that are not commonly used today.
- ruche: A ruffle or pleat of lace, muslin, or other fine fabric used for trimming women's garments.
- doyley, d'oyley, mat: any small, ornamental mat, esp. one of embroidery or lace.
- resilla: Resilla usually refers to a head ornament with a fishnet-like design. Fine wires or cords were inter-spaced with pearls, coral, jet and sometimes gemstone beads and secured on the hair with a jeweled comb or other hair ornament. The term comes from the French résille which translates net, network or netting.
- tidy: A decorative protective covering for the arms or headrest of a chair.
- escallop: Variant of scallop.

I would love to see the Netted Under-Sleeve in use. I wonder how it was fastened to the outer sleeve. Did it show at all or was it completely covered.
I wonder how many people made the Sleeping Cushion for Back of Chair and how comfortable it was.
