A cold snap has descending on my neighbourhood, making everybody shiver. When that happens my thoughts turn naturally to warm clothes. Luckily Weldon's Ladies Journal had matters in hand in 1924.
Weldon's describes these fashions as being "long", "straight" and "tube like". Pattern 72071 (second from left) has a fashionably "curved, fur-trimmed hem". Next to it no. 72072 is a coat "designed for velours finished with astrachan". (Weldon's offered a transfer for the embroidery on its side-opening.) At right is a coat and skirt "with an uneven hem and bold embroidery" to be made up in either velours or cloth.
No. 72074 (on the left) is "suited for the fuller figure" while keeping a stylishly straight outline. Next to it is "a smart street suit". Weldon's suggests it be made up in "dead leaf or russet brown" colours. Beside it are two coats made up in the "cross-over line"—so very fashionable in the 1924 season!
