# Ellen Curtis Demorest

> Ellen Louise Demorest was an American businesswoman, fashion arbiter, and milliner, widely credited for inventing mass-produced tissue-paper dressmaking patterns. In 1860, with her husband, William Jennings Demorest, she established a company to sell the patterns, which were adaptations of the latest French fashions, and a magazine to promote them. Her dressmaking patterns made French styles accessible to ordinary women, thus greatly influencing US fashion.
