This is a super pattern for a simple, everyday 1920s frock, perfect in linen, cotton or other summery fabrics. Thank you to Tuesday’s Child for the loan!

Here is a cute shot of four friends sitting on the running board of a brand new Ford. Written on the back of the photo are the girls’ names and, underneath, “Emma’s new Ford.” Note the “Buster Brown” haircuts and demurely crossed feet. I love the white play dresses!
