The Influence of Lady's Mile on Women's Fashion in 1880s New York
Lady's Mile, the shopping district in 1880s New York, was known for its enormous department stores that catered to women. Macy's, Lord & Taylor, Be Altman, and Arnold Constable were among the upscale stores in the district. These department stores were different from those that came before in terms of size and design, with many taking up entire city blocks and featuring cast iron structures with large windows. Lady's Mile also introduced new innovations to make shopping more pleasant for women, such as set prices, respectful and handsome male sales clerks, lounges, and private fitting rooms.
