"Good Needlework" (February 1933)

 Good Needlework was a craft magazine,not a fashion magazine.  However in each issue in the early 1930s they'd usually include a plate illustrating lingerie patterns from "Bestway" and a selection of their own transfers for embroidering on the finished garments.

In an era when most women made at least some of their clothes at home, and glamorous lingerie wasn't necessarily cheap or easy to get hold of, these patterns must have been a treat for many an accomplished needlewoman.

 

Above are illustrations for bras, knickers, slips, nighties, bed jackets, robes and a pair of camiknickers.
