Welcome to the 1800's!  The Industrial Revolution has begun and the world is growing and changing every year. Europe carves up the globe into little pieces of economic pie, the United States cries “Westward Ho!” and Civil War breaks out between the North and the South.  Human rights, the abolition movement, women's rights and child labor laws are all hot issues of the day.  Europe and it’s children are bursting with vigor, ambition and industry while the rest of the world struggles to survive against them. 

Fashion changes with the times, and the times are changing.  Women's fashions change every decade, and by the mid 1800’s men’s fashion begin to solidify into the three-piece suit. The invention of the sewing machine puts hand stitchers out of business and the ready-made market is born. Haute couture changes how people think about clothing, instead of the customer telling the tailor what to make, the designers tell the customers what to wear. A dress by Worth is all the rage.
