The Costume Gallery Presents:

A Year in Fashion:1920

"Flapper Era Fashions"
Evening-wear:
Dance Frock #2

It is just like Fashion to start with a simple one-piece idea for a dance frock and end up with the most plentiful and frivolous hip sashes of the season.

Use satin, taffeta, velvet, brocade, charmeuse and crepe meteor with sashes of tulle or net. If the dress is made of Georgette the sashes should be of taffeta, ribbon or velvet, or, taffeta, satin, crepe meteor, crepe de Chine and velvet could be used alone.

The blouse lining can be made in a camisole style.

The original pattern number in 1920 was 2690A. Click HERE to see the other fashions on this pattern. The spider web embroidery on the skirt was Butterick's design #10741.
