The John Bright Collection notes that "The back is adjusted with a tape threaded through three pairs of metal eyelets on tabs. These metal eyelets, patented in the mid 1820s, were a great improvement on the stitched eyelets that preceded them, being able to take greater strain."

House of Worth gowns have a tendency to be all out in terms of colors and patterns, but I love that this dress plays with the monochrome palette and leaves the details for the tailoring. Dating from 1873, it's got the silhouette of the times you'd expect but with the high-neck conservatism of the next decade. I love the ruffles and diagonal lines along the hem and bustle. According to the description, it's silk faille taffeta and trimmed with steel beads. Just stunning! I love everything about this dress.
From the Albany Institute.

At left, the type of 1840s man that many people want, looking dashing in his evening costume and with the fashionable barrel chest and defined waist of his breed.
At right, a more typical example of the 1840s man that you will find at discount prices: note the striped trousers, huge paletot coat, and cigar.
This is the difference that proper vetting of your 19th century man can make! Of course, many people are happy with the Gent on the right and will gladly indulge his fashion habits and smoking.
