Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to explore and describe women’s textile culture in the Victorian epoch, the language of cloth, and the craft of dressmaking. My analysis complements the growing literature on the social consequences of fashion, the elasticity and refinement of women’s proficiency in dress culture, and the composition of female subjectivity in Victorian fiction. The findings of this study have implications for women’s fluency in dress culture, the social relevance of clothing, and the longevity of needlewoman in Victorian literature.
