Girl's Evening Fashions from "Butterick Quarterly" (Winter 1919-1920)


Grown-ups aren't the only people who go to parties!  Here we have Butterick patterns from the winter of 1919-20 for "small misses" and girls aged 14 to 19.  In other words (though the word hasn't been coined yet) teenagers!




The Rising Generation
"There is scarcely a word to be said for the young person to-day for she follows most of her mother's styles and uses almost all of her materials. One would like to offer a word of caution in regard to the brocades which are too old for her and add the suggestion that she use the younger shades of pink, baby blue, canary, white and green for her party frocks."
