In Fashion in Costume, 1200-2000 (2000) Joan Nunn discusses the changes in fabric and color during this time: Throughout the period light colours were fairly general for evening wear and were considered more suitable for young ladies, as were cottons like muslin or tarlatan, but by the 1860s cotton had lost ground as a high-fashion fabric, and silk, satin, taffeta, faille, moir, silk poplin from Ireland, and velvet for more mature ladies, were used for formal dresses.
