Miroir des Modes was published in France by Butterick Publishing Company to promote (what else!) Butterick patterns. This illustration also appeared in the Summer 1924 edition of Butterick Quarterly. I've taken the description of the patterns from The Delineator.
No. 4930 (left): The tiered front of this dress makes in an especially graceful style for crȇpe satin, heavy silk crȇpes or heavy crȇpe de Chine. It slips on over the head, closes under the left arm and the straight skirt with tiered front is joined to a long underbody.
No. 5027 (second from left): Straight accordion or side plaited trimming gives a Russian effect to a dress with a draped one-piece upper part which is lengthened by the plaiting. Make the dress of satin crȇpe, plain or printed silk crȇpe, plain or printed novelty crȇpe de Chine, all in one material, printed with plain material, or in two shades of one colour.
No. 5175 (second from right): Many lovely effects are possible with hand-faggoting. On a one-piece slip-over dress it gives the effect of a yoke. The dress has a straight lower edge, a casing and elastic across the sides of a low waistline. Use satin crȇpe, plain or printed silk crȇpe, plain, printed or novelty crȇpe de Chine, plain or printed cotton voile or fine cotton crȇpe, all one material, printed with plain etc.,
No. 5207 (right): A Russian closing marked with buttons and ending in a smart pocket is a new way to vary unbroken lines. For this one-piece dress use heavy silk crȇpe, silk alpaca, plain flannel, kasha, cashmere, wool crȇpe, soft twills, linen or linen-finished cottons.
