Netting in Magazines - Godey's Lady's Book (1850-1859)

The Godey's Lady's Book magazines between 1850 and 1859 had netting information in almost every year. I have listed many types of netting including embroidery or darning on netting. The link attached to the year and volume will take you to the entire magazine. The link attached to the title of the article will take you to the page where that article is listed.

There were a few words I could not define.  So I went to a dictionary and looked them up:

• garniture: Something that garnishes; an embellishment, decoration or embellishment, something that garnishes; decoration.
• ruche: A ruffle or pleat of lace, muslin, or other fine fabric used for trimming women's garments.
• tidy: An ornamental protective covering for the back or arms of a chair; an antimacassar.

Enjoy a glimpse of netting in the past.
