Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 14 June 1890 on textile design for power-loom dress goods. They present fancy dress and silk dress designs (No. 1, No. 2 and a 24-shaft figured design on eight-shaft satin ground) with notes on colours, yarns, reed and drafting order. A continuing sateen weaves lesson explains the eight-end sateen and its derivatives (buckskin, twilled hopsack, Mayo or Campbell twill) and how to tie backing warp or weft, with numbered design grids 120-136 and a floral design (Figure 18) for dress fabrics.
