The Costume Gallery Presents:

A Year in Fashion:1920

"Flapper Era Fashions"
Evening-wear:
Evening Wrap

A beautiful wrap for evening wear has the new silhouette of the widened hipline and narrowed hem. It is made with a very deep yoke with the sleeve cut in easy kimono fashion.

Velveteen and broadcloth, or brocade combined with a plain material or satin with plush would be lovely for evening; and plush, fur fabrics, duvetyn and broadcloth alone or broadcloth combined with velvet or fur fabrics could be used for day or evening wear.

The original pattern number in 1920 was #2679.
