Original Victorian trade card for Demorest's Illustrated Monthly Magazine.

Ellen Louise Demorest was a US fashion arbiter. She was a successful milliner widely credited for inventing mass-produced tissue-paper dressmaking patterns. With her husband, she established a company to sell the patterns, which were adaptations of the latest French fashions, and a magazine to promote them (1860). Her dressmaking patterns made French styles accessible to ordinary women, thus greatly influencing US fashion.
