1938 Dress Pattern
This is a sharp-looking 1938 dress pattern. Note the long, slimming lines and the slight emphasis given the bustline by the gathers underneath. Still, the silhouette is very much about lengthening the figure through princess lines and the buttons marching down the front. Very much for a willowy figure!
1912 Dress Pattern
A wonderful circa 1912 dress pattern for young women. The differing front bodice closures are fun to study. Those offset button closures were all the rage for quite a few years from about 1909 through the teens. (Many thanks to the Kerrie Lyons Collection for the loan!)
1915 Dress Pattern
Woman's dress pattern, circa 1915. Unfortunately, the pattern envelope has torn, making it difficult to see some of the wonderful details of this lovely day dress.
