Making Your First Dress - A Lesson from 1927

I just keep finding things inside of my Woman's Institute lesson books! This time I was looking through Dressmaking - Perfection in Details and this flyer was tucked in the back.
It was most likely included in the mail order coursework as part of the Dressmaking Program.

It mentions a few commercial patterns that one could purchase to make these looks including Ladies' Home Journal 5146, Butterick 1390, Butterick 1561, Pictorial Review 4006, and Ladies' Home Journal 5503.

Enjoy!

Oh, and in other news, look what I just finished!

Fashion Service Magazine: a few pages from 1930

Hello lovely readers. Today I am sorting through my huge (HUGE!) collection of Fashion Service magazines from the 1920's through 1930's and I found a few pages I thought that you might like to see.

These images come from the July, 1930 issue of Fashion Service Magazine.

These hats just make me tingle all over. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could bring these back in style again?

Don't those pajamas just make you long for the weekend and some sunshine to lounge in?

Usually if the magazine didn't include a diagram and instructions for making the featured designs, they recommended which pattern models (McCall's, Pictorial, etc.) one could buy to sew the desired look.
This issue, however, was advertising patterns produced by the Woman's Institute, for example, the beautiful model below (bottom right), #6D-7, could be made by ordering "W. Institute 2594" for 15 cents.

Reading about the patterns advertised surprised me because I've never seen a pattern directly released by the Woman's Institute before, and my Google and Pattern Wiki searches didn't show any either.
Have you ever seen one?
