News — 1930's

13-piece digitally-drafted pattern originally by Butterick, the original pattern had writing in pencil which read: 'Wedding dress June 12, 1931 lace over flat crepe.' This sweet design is LOADED with options! The bodice is marked for a daytime and evening front neckline option, as well as three neckline options at the bodice back; a V- or U-neck for daytime and a low V-neck for evening.
