The Fashion World - Wonderful Patterns from 1934! -Part 6

This is the last of these, but I wanted to show you the other part of this magazine...Movie Stars! But that was it, wonderful pattern illustrations and these few hollywood pages, but no ads or other articles. So it's still a mystery, but still fabulous!

The Fashion World - Wonderful Patterns from 1934! -Part 4

Don't these women all look self-assured? Maybe because they were all models...but maybe it's because they all look amazing.

There are some more of these fabulous thirties fashions...still hoping somebody knows more about these.

The Fashion World - Wonderful Patterns from 1934! -Part 2

More lovely fashion from this mysterious magazine. But we don't need to know the history to know these are pretty fabulous!

The Fashion World - Wonderful Patterns from 1934!

So here's a very cool, but mysterious find. This magazine/advertising booklet is titled The Fashion World and this Summer of 1934 issue has loads of fabulous thirties fashion illustrations. But they are all for patterns that are only listed as "W" and a number. Nowhere could I find who sold these, or really any details. And this copy is falling apart, the edges are worn and it's a little to large for my scanner. So what we will see are some wonderful dresses and great style details, but not much background info. So if any of you can fill in the gaps here it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise let's just enjoy some eye candy.

More to come...

I always feel like dresses like these only look good on these models, standing in these poses, with these hair-dos, ect. On me I suspect they'd look all bunchy and shapeless. But I have to admit I haven't tried to wear a knitted or crocheted dress. Have you?

Butterick Fashion News 1947

This holds a special interest for me, this is from Seattle's Bon Marche...it was one of two big department stores downtown (the other was Fredricks & Nelson). I wasn't around in 1947, but when I was a little girl I went to both of them with my Grandmother. I mostly remember the bathrooms...the lounges had couches! So luxurious. And they were full of ladies who lunch. Like these gals.
