Try Eaton's of Canada's 1917 Summer Spring catalog on Archive.org, and do a 
search for wash dresses, or dresses or cotton. There are some color pictures, 
and they had sizes and styles for ladies of all ages.

Subject: [h-cost] Color images of summer cotton frocks, 1917-1918

I'm looking for color images of summer cotton frocks, 1917-1918, to get a
feel for colors and prints (if any), particularly for women past 40.  I've
been looking through newspapers, so I've got ideas on silhouette, but they
don't help much on the other.  Any suggestions?
