How to Secure Patterns of These Dresses
The College of Industrial Arts, in its efforts to be of service to the girls and women of Texas, has made it possible for those desiring patterns of the graduation dresses illustrated in this bulletin to secure them through the Department of Extension of the College.
The original designs of these dresses were made by highly trained artists at the College, whom we feel appreciate the particular needs of Texas girls and women. The patterns were cut from these original designs by the Vogue Pattern Company of New York, and are sold at thirty cents each, their exact cost to the College. An illustration, material requirement, and approximate cost are given with each pattern, and they are cut in sizes 14, 16, and 18. When ordering patterns state the number of the pattern and the size desired.
The quaint little design B 820 will appeal to the young girl who likes a touch of originality in her clothes. The becoming fichu and full skirt of this design seem to belong to the Colonial days with powdered hair and patches. This design, created of organdy, should cost from $5.00 to $8.00 according to the material selected. No. B 822 will prove more expensive on account of the lace trimming, the approximate cost being from $9.00 to $12.00. If interesting materials are chosen, this loose peplum and snug ribbon girdle will make quite a distinctive costume, becoming to stout figures.
The long-waisted design B 824 is decidedly original and its dainty frills and ribbons appeal to young girls. A dress may be made by this pattern of good materials for $8.00.
Design B 826 shows a clever interpretation of the narrow skirt so popular today. The tiny tucks and frills make a dainty and inexpensive trimming, and the costume should cost from $4.00 to $6.00.
