When rummaging through some of my paper ephemera I came across this beautiful pamphlet I had completely forgotten about! It’s undated, but it’s probably from the 19-teens (I’m guessing 1915-1918ish). Here’s a few images, and I’ll follow up with more later. It’s really cleverly designed. It opens up to the two dresses here, then opens again to another layout, then to a very large layout. Kind of like unfolding a map, but with pretty dresses inside!

Hope you had a great weekend!

The clothes look a. 1916–the height of the bizarre “war crinoline.” I do, however, adore those traveling requisites!
Thank you so much for the date, Evangeline!
I love your blog :)
I love mid-Teens fashions. Thanks for sharing!
I say 1916 too! It’s such a funny period – so many quirky details on the odd silhouette. The feathered pinwheel hat is the funniest of all. It looks more like a costume than real dress!
I’m crazy about this! I especially love the “Traveling Requisites”!
And the fabulousness of those SHOES! Almost 18th-century shapes, with shoe clips instead of latchets or buckles. I do wish Stern Brothers had sold those too!
