Here’s some beautiful inspiration images for you from the nineteen teens. These images come from an undated National Bella Hess catalog, but the styles put them around 1915-1917, I’m guessing. The pages advertise “Each Waist in a Christmas Box.” What a glorious gift these would be! I’d love to find one waiting for me under the Christmas tree!
I must say, I cannot WAIT for Wearing History to delve into 1910s patterns this year! I know you probably are tired of hearing me say it in every post of this type, but the Edwardian-1910s are truly my favorite era.
Hope you’re having a lovely week, and hope your holiday festivities are much blessed, whatever holiday you’re celebrating :)

Yay! I can’t wait for new WH patterns! :)
Thanks, Stephanie! :)
Oh yay! We need more Edwardian & teens patterns, definitely!
The 1910’s are my favorite too! I’ve dabbled but never get around to making what I really want. Maybe your blog will be what finally gets me focused. You have great taste and vintage style I look forward to your future posts!
Ooh, these are lovely!
So cute! I love the contrast between the extremely girly faces and the very matronly busts of this period. It always makes my mind twist.
