Fashion News in Patterns
IT'S fun to wear the new styles first! To have something decidedly smart and refreshingly different before everybody else starts to wear it. These patterns bring you ideas for new styles that are right up at the top of fashion's preferences, just as pretty and becoming as they can be! You can be the first in your set to flaunt them, and so economically, if you make them at home, choosing the fabrics yourself. You don't need a lot of sewing experience to work with these designs. Each includes a step-by-step sew chart to guide beginners.
The Petticoat Dress.
If you want something just as youthful and flattering as it is excitingly new, make yourself the charming petticoat frock. The skirt is cut with an exaggerated flare, so that you can wear a real petticoat under it, or sew in petticoat ruffles, for rustle and charm.
Above the doll-waist, the bodice is gathered over the bosom, and has a crisp little frill that simulates the line of a bolero. High-shouldered sleeves complete its Victorian charm. The whole thing does nice things to your figure, and it's just about the most seductively feminine fashion you can choose. Make it of taffeta, flat crepe or silk print.
Skating Suit With Hood.
Whether you ice or roller-skate, this is the thing to wear! And since the skating silhouette will be very smart for spring in sports clothes, too, you'll want a run-about outfit made with this same pattern, later on. The fitted, high-shouldered jacket, buttoned straight up to the throat, is excellent style for street and sports wear, as well as the swirling skirt.
If you make this suit to wear for ice skating or in a cold climate, line both skirt and jacket of wool.
The Patterns.
No. 1669 is designed for sizes 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20. With long sleeves, size 14 requires 4 3/4 yards of 39-inch material. With short sleeves 4 3/4 yards. Requires 4 1/4 yards of pleating.
No. 1673 is designed for sizes 11, 13, 15, 17. Size 13 requires 1 1/4 yards of 54-inch material for long-sleeved jacket, 1 yard for short-sleeved jacket, 1 3/4 yards of 54-inch material for the skirt and 1 yard for the cap. To line jacket, 1 1/4 yards of 54-inch material; to line skirt, 1 3/4 yards; to line cap, 1/3 yard.
