This publication doesn't have a date, but the original owner cut some of the free pattern pieces out of newspapers. Searching Trove for some of the articles printed on the pattern pieces ("RAILWAY PILFERING. Forty Bottles of Beer Stolen") I managed to date them to 1934. This would indicate that Weldon's All-Day Frocks pattern brochure was published no later than 1934 (though it could have been published a year or so earlier!)
6248—Smart Dress with Draped Collar.
6249—Pretty Dress with Puffed Sleeves.
Two delightful frocks, so easy to make and smart in any of the lovely Ferguson crêpes—such as crêpe Fersyl or Rosemary crêpe, or in Courtauld's satin, etc., either plain or patterned weaves, such as San-Toy.The editors of this catalogue made a lot of suggestions for brand-name fabrics! I leave it to my readers to decide whether they were paid promotions or not.
