1910 Pattern Ads
By Jennie Chancey
Here are two ads for patterns from a 1910 magazine. The first is a girl’s daydress; the second is for “combinations” (underdrawers and corset cover).

Grandma is dressed just like the top sketch (the day dress), from the top of her head to her waist. The photo didn’t show below her waist. The bow behind her head is white, with a black band in front. Her hair is done like the sketch. And what I can see of her dress is made out of eyelet lace. Of course, she is wearing a locket, with a photo of the young man inside.
