Miroir des Modes (August 1925)


This was a French magazine promoting Butterick patterns.  I have a suspicion that the illustrations and the descriptions (translated into French) were lifted from Butterick's English language publications.


Here we see the mode still evolving towards what we typically thing of as 1920s fashion.  The line is straight, with bust and and hips flattened and minimised, but skirts  still descend well below the knee.  The models all wear cloche hats and have bobbed hair, which makes them thoroughly modern misses in 1925!
