Announcing Loretta- Early 1930s Day & Evening Dress

Announcing the newest Wearing History Resto-Vival Pattern!

This is Loretta- an early 1930s day and evening dress. A great pattern with a variety of options, this pattern gives a great depression-era look and the clever ability to combine the same basic pattern pieces into a variety of looks by using different cutting lines. Great for both daytime and evening, the skirt has three different length options- from full length to slightly above ankle, to daytime length. The original pattern had a 1931 dated newspaper inside, which confirms my suspicion that this was most likely fashionable from 1930-1932, though, of course, like our chic depression-era sisters, we can easily make it go into the mid 1930s depending on how it’s made up and accessorized.
