I'm now roughly three-quarters of the way through my survey of the mid-twentieth century. And what better way to say farewell to the 1950s than a selection of Vogue Patterns, as depicted on the covers of Vogue Printed Pattern News? They show most of the main looks of the year, as interpreted for home dressmakers.
Marvellous way to embark upon the new fashion year... this slim wool jersey dress in a brilliant explorer-blue. 9651
