A Year in Fashion:1920

This being a short season for the Parisienne you could not expect that she would do more than lower her side sashes when she desires a train. The straight skirt is transparent and shows the straight drop skirt beneath in a little shorter length.

Use taffeta, velveteen, satin, crepe meteor, crepe de Chine and pompadour silk alone or combine lace, net, tulle and Georgette with the bodice and a sash of satin and velvet, and a satin or taffeta drop skirt in a color to match the bodice or skirt.

The original Butterick pattern number in 1920 was 2682.
