When a young lord tries to take advantage of Finley, she fights back. And wins. But no normal Victorian girl has a darker side that makes her capable of knocking out a fullgrown man with one punch.... Only Griffin King sees the magical darkness inside her that says she's special, says she's one of them. The orphaned duke takes her in from the gaslit streets against the wishes of his band of misfits: Emily, who has her own special abilities and an unrequited love for Sam, who is part robot; and Jasper, an American cowboy with a shadowy secret. Griffin's investigating a criminal called The Machinist, the mastermind behind several recent crimes by automatons. Finley thinks she can help–and finally be a part of something, finally fit in. But The Machinist wants to tear Griff's little company of strays apart, and it isn't long before trust is tested on all sides. At least Finley knows whose side she's on–even if it seems no one believes her.

This is an invaluable treatise on corsets and crinoline. Popular mainly in the 1800s, the corset is a woman's tightly fitting undergarment worn to shape the figure, and the crinoline is a stiff petticoat used to hold out a woman's skirt. This work presents the history of these pieces of clothing, their construction, use, and their impact on shaping the body. In addition, the writer aimed to provide the readers with all the essential information about the harm corsets can cause to women's bodies as they mold their waist and restrict their moment for as long as they're wearing them. This work talks about how one can acquire the desirable without causing any injury to the health.

"Progressing through almost two centuries of corset-making, this collection showcases a range of period pieces, from the 1750 whale-boned corsets, through the invention of the sewing machine and mass-produced corsets of the 1850s to the makeshift corsets of World War I." "Reflecting the changing fashions and attitudes of women throughout the centuries, the collection includes corsets for pregnancy, riding corsets for sportswomen and hard-wearing corsets for housemaids. There are even corsets for small children and their dolls." "Each corset features an annotated pattern, a detailed drawing and close-up photography so any historical detail can be captured accurately by the maker. Each pattern is accompanied by a brief overview that places the corset within its historical context and explains any features or alterations that are necessary for making up the patterns." "A must-have guide for anyone with an interest in fashion history, Corsets: Historical Patterns and Techniques is a treasure trove of information for fashion students, costume makers for stage and screen, reenactors and historians alike."--BOOK JACKET.

"[An] uncanny Gothic mystery... Satisfying."—New York Times Book Review "A romping read with a deliciously dark conceit at its center... Reminded me of Alias Grace."—Kiran Millwood Hargrave From the author of The Silent Companions, a thrilling Victorian gothic horror story about a young seamstress who claims her needle and thread have the power to kill Dorothea Truelove is young, wealthy, and beautiful. Ruth Butterham is young, poor, and awaiting trial for murder. When Dorothea's charitable work brings her to Oakgate Prison, she is delighted by the chance to explore her fascination with phrenology and test her hypothesis that the shape of a person's skull can cast a light on their darkest crimes. But when she meets one of the prisoners, the teenaged seamstress Ruth, she is faced with another strange idea: that it is possible to kill with a needle and thread--because Ruth attributes her crimes to a supernatural power inherent in her stitches. The story Ruth has to tell of her deadly creations—of bitterness and betrayal, of death and dresses—will shake Dorothea's belief in rationality, and the power of redemption. Can Ruth be trusted? Is she mad, or a murderer? For fans of Shirley Jackson, The Poison Thread is a spine-tingling, sinister read about the evil that lurks behind the facade of innocence.
