Patterns From Needlecraft Magazine (June 1929)

Tucked among the craft patterns in this vintage issue of Needlecraft Magazine, were a couple of pages advertising dress patterns (available through Needlecraft for 15¢ each.)  Here are three of the designs available to home dressmakers at the end of the 1920s.  The descriptions below are quoted directly from the magazine, and run in order from left to right.

 Simple Flare
The dress, No. 1226 is a smart printed blue-and-white crepe with plain-blue crepe contrast.  Printed dimity, printed rayon voile, printed cotton foulard, flat silk crepe and georgette crepe are also apprropriate.

Chic Scarf Neckline
The fashionable yellow silk crepe frock, approved by the smart young set, is illustrated in design no. 1239, with most interesting scarf neckline, revealing chic onesidedness and falling in cape effect at back.

One-Piece Model
It's one piece!  The smart printed silk crepe wraparound model with effective shirring and drape at left side, so suitable for street and all-occasion wear.
