Pattern Tour, SE30-3891 the 1930 Dress, Slip, Coat & Hat

15-piece pattern for the dress with optional slip, open coat and Newport-style hat.   The coat (3-piece pattern) may be ordered as a separate.  The dress skirt may be accordion-pleated and comes with flounced slip (8-piece pattern) sold as a set aside from the entire ensemble. I designed this pattern based on the color rendering originally sketched by a pattern company artist at a runway show in 1930.  The caption written on the original reads: 'Seen at the fashion show.  Coarse black net.  Black taffeta bands.'

I Want to See Some Well-Dressed Beaches with this New Pattern!!

Alexandra Reynolds 1930's Capsule wardrobe EvaDress Patterns

I Want to See Some Well-Dressed Beaches with this New Pattern!!

14-piece pattern originally by Pictorial Review, a deeply revered blouse, sleeveless bolero and wide-leg beach pajamas with diagonal seam make up this ensemble. We have added the hat pattern to match the style shown with this ensemble. The color image shows this ensemble, as it was marketed in the Summer 1931 edition of Fashion Book Illustrating Pictorial Patterns which shows a longer version of the bolero other than what is included in the actual pattern given: 1/2" seams are given. RECOMMENDED FABRICS: Blouse & Bolero - Crepes, Taffeta, Linen, Satin, Velvet, Rayon, Cottons, Celanese. Pajamas - Wool Crêpe, Sheer Woolen, Jersey, Linen, Canton Crêpe.    Hat...
