This book presents the story of Madame Weigel's pattern series from 1878 to 1950, her patterns manufactured in Melbourne and distributed to millions across Australia and New Zealand. Patterns were issued for high fashion garments and everyday clothing for everyone in the lifecycle from babies to matrons. Madame quickly became a household name as women sewed for themselves and their families, her work now providing a unique history of fashion and clothing in Australasia.
