Demorest's Illustrated Monthly was a publication in the United States.
Other people who wrote for the paper included Louisa May Alcott and Julia Ward Howe.
It became monthly in 1863 and attained its expanded title in 1864 after Demorest acquired New York Illustrated News and merged it into the publication.
[citation needed] In addition to illustrations of fashions (plates), a dress pattern was stapled into editions of the publication.
