You are looking at probably mid to late 1930s. Possibly a transition dress. May or may not have shoulder pads. Kind of the style http://www.antiquedress.com/item4548.htm http://www.antiquedress.com/item4295.htm http://tinyurl.com/moabph
This gives styles of the early `30s to give an idea of what I mean by it possibly being transitional. http://www.agelesspatterns.com/1930s.htm Think Faye Wray movies. :) Then again, the style somewhat repeated in the `80s so maybe it is 1980. :) De -----Original Message----- Hi, This is slightly off-topic but I'm curious and I figured this list would probably be best to answer. The latest fall Buttericks are out and there is one Making History pattern. Usually I can guess where they have drawn their inspiration from and what period that they are imitating but this is one is puzzling me. If you had to assign a time period what date would you give for this: http://www.butterick.com/item/B5405.htm?tab=costumes&page=1 Sharon Nevin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
