Charles Jacobs Peterson
“To dress out of fashion is to make one's self the subject of remark, a contingency which every woman ought to avoid. How would even a man like to go down the street, in knee-breeches, and with powdered hair, as his great-grandfather did? For a woman to be behind fashion is absurd. To make one's self conspicuous, in any way, is a mistake.
- Peterson's Magazine, September 1872”
Peterson's Magazine

Charles Jacobs Peterson
“...the art of dressing well consists in knowing the prevailing fashions, and adapting them to your particular style. What suits one will not always look beautiful on another. There should be discrimination, the result of a cultivated taste. To deviate from the prevailing mode entirely is, on the other hand, a grave blunder; for anything odd makes a lady a laughing-stock, and the dress quite out of fashion is, therefore, to be avoided.
Peterson's Magazine, June 1879”
