And speaking of posting pretty pictures... this plate, from Le Miroir des Modes shows how very simple and streamlined women's fashions had become by the mid-twenties. You would have to go back to around 1800 to find dresses as comfortable and with as few fusses and frills.
For some reason there were no descriptions of these garments in the issue of Le Miroir des Modes where I scanned this picture. However, since it advertises Butterick patterns, I was able to take the descriptions from a contemporary issue of The Delineator—but only for the figures on the left and right-hand sides!
5199—Hand-fagoting at the neck, sleeves and on the pockets of this one-piece plaited frock is very smart. The dress has a straight lower edge, slips on over the head and has a casing and elastic across the sides of a low waistline. It may have long sleeves sewed into a body lining.
5197—The new cape styles are irresistible to the young girls who choose a circular cape to wear with the one-piece slip-over dress. Use plaid or striped wool with plain cape; or use soft twills, kasha, fine worsteds, wool crȇpe, plaids, plaid, striped or plain flannel for the entire costume.
