Index to Godey’s Lady’s Book Online

Godey’s Lady’s Book was THE most popular fashion magazine of its day, and still is the most popular one we go to for research about fashions of that time period. Published from 1830 to 1898, it covers a very wide range of fashion history.

Below is an index by year of all the Godey’s Lady’s Books I have been able to find online, that are available to view for FREE. I have searched the Internet Archives, Google Books and Hathi Trust to compile this list.

Please note, the colored fashion plates are generally NOT included in these scans. But there is a ton of other information – tons of black and white fashion plates, sewing patterns, knitting and crochet patterns, embroidery patterns, arts and crafts, and even some great reading material! Enjoy!

As I find more issues, I will update this Blog Post. And if you find any issues that are not on this list, please let me know, so I can add them.

I hope to do this same indexing with other Historical Fashion Magazines as well, as time allows.

Hope this Resource is helpful to you!
