Beauty of form and grace of vesture
A dress-reform and personal-beauty manual by Frances Mary Steele and Elizabeth Livingston Steele Adams, published by Dodd, Mead in New York in 1892 for American women readers weighing health, proportion and taste in clothing. The plates are single standing female figures in full-length gowns, cloaks and hats, drawn in hatched pen line or printed as soft halftones, giving designers clean silhouettes, drapery folds and cast-shadow studies that cut out easily against plain grounds.
