I was guessing the pattern looks late 30s. The 20s usually had a drop waist or no waist. I found this comes close to a late 20s. http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/voguepatterns/shop.cgi?s.item.V8070=x&T I=20009&page=1 This one is weak but passable for 20s. http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M4995.htm?tab=costumes&page=1 20s style http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/butterick/shop.cgi?s.item.B4093=x&TI=10 013&page=5 Passable http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/voguepatterns/shop.cgi?s.item.V7571=x&T I=20003&page=8
-----Original Message----- Maybe I missed something, but for what era (and for what purpose)? The gown shown is for the period of the 1930s and a very good likeness for two I have in my collection. The bridesmaid's gowns just "spill" with the train which adds interest to the bias cut in back.
