A Tidbit

Eye candy, anyone?

Here is a peak at a page from the June 1940 Hollywood Patterns booklet in my collection.

Sometimes when I look at the hooded jacket, I think snow white/ opera coat glamor. Other times, I can't help but picture those towel-like bath coats for babies with the exact same hood. I can't reconcile the two.

  1. I see the hood and think Red Riding Hood. But i think if you did it in a sheer/almost iridescent organza it could be quite lovely...

  2. I would not go for the bolero with hood myself but all of the other dresses are totally desirable.

  4. Love these patterns. I also love the hood. I would make it but not bring it over my head. I like hoods look on the back.
