Masquerade Patterns -1920s - The Pictorial Review

Aaannnddd I'm back! The computer and I are both fixed and fine. So to celebrate I have some real goodies for you. These are from a booklet published by The Pictorial Review Company titled Masquerade Patterns. It is undated, but I was able to date a few of the patterns to 1925-27. (If you can get closer please share). These are just wonderful and I'm going to show you them all. I wish I had these actual patterns, you are on your own for that. But I hope you get some inspiration for your own costumes this season!
