This is a two-for-one deal! You get two articles by the knowledgeable Mrs. Ralston–one about Spring styles for 1905, the other answers to questions girls ask about their clothes. There are lots of beautiful drawings of the latest fashions, including sidebar ads for Easter 1905 dresses and more. The Q&A from young ladies is the most fun to read and includes questions like the following: “I am girl just twelve years old and very tall for my age. How long should I wear my skirts?” Lots of fun!

Hi, Jennie,
Do you have any info on who Mrs. Ralston was? I’ve got a few of her ads framed in my sewing room and know she was an Edwardian designer, but I’d love to know more.
Thanks,
Karen Ralston

Hi, Karen! I have tried for years to track her down and find a bio on her, but to no avail. I have lots and lots of articles by her in my files; she seems to have been very prolific! If I ever find any information on her, I’ll be sure to post it!
