Authentic Victorian Dressmaking TechniquesAt the turn of the century, ladies of privilege could easily afford their own dressmakers, and even middle class housewives occasionally employed competent seamstresses.

At the turn of the century, ladies of privilege could easily afford their own dressmakers, and even middle-class housewives occasionally employed competent seamstresses. But many women did their own sewing, often relying on Dressmaking, Up to Date, a how-to book published by the Butterick Publishing Company. First published in 1905 and widely considered the first modern American sewing book, this extremely rare volume is published here complete and unabridged.This Butterick manual provides clear and concise instructions for altering patterns, hand-sewing stitches, and creating shirt-blouses, skirts, wedding and evening gowns, coats, jackets, maternity wear, undergarments, bathrobes, children's clothing, and many other articles of apparel. Today's costume historians and sewing enthusiasts will find fascinating instruction in such long-lost arts as boning a bodice perfectly, creating skirt sweepers and bust enhancers, concealing hooks and eyes, and other vintage dressmaking techniques.
An indispensable archive of information on late-Victorian and turn-of-the-century clothing, this volume will be of immense interest to anyone fascinated by the fashion and costume of the period. It will also be of value to needleworkers wanting to create accurate reproductions of Victorian-era costume, or to anyone interested in applying time-honored sewing techniques to a modern wardrobe.

Perfect cable management
Color: Black, Size: Standard
I set these up on my sit/stand office/gaming desk and trust me when I say I have a lot of cords, power blocks and what not going on. 2 27" monitors (both have DP and HDMI hooked up), two laptops, PS5, gaming speakers, iPad, docking station, phone charging station...and this thing holds all of the cables, blocks AND the Anker multi-plug with 12 outlets. No cords hanging, everything clean. Super easy to install, I totally recommend this product. I like it so much I bought another one for my girlfriend for her home office to get her all set up. You won't regret it

Use Velcro or Command strips and save yourself money
Color: Black, Size: Standard
These are high quality and are nice additions for the VIVO standing desks. However, they only fit slim power strips. My power strips were too wide to fit these. I ended up just using Velcro and Command strips to attach the power strip under my desk and purchasing cable management wires. In the end, I think it turned out much better than using these cable management trays and also saved me a significant amount of money.

Works for hiding cables
Color: Black, Size: Standard
Worked great to manage my cables to my pc setup. My double wide surge protector fit in there just right. Easy to mount with the holes and the bottom to fit a screw driver or power drill. Not too flimsy.
