About This Item
South Port, UK: Arbour House. Fine. 2010. Third Edition. Paperback. 0955620627 . This book includes more than 60 original patterns dating from 1920 to 1949, Each vintage pattern is accompanied by a modernised version of the same design using up-to-date yarns, weights and measurements. Every chapter focuses on particular style points from certain eras. The tubular look, 1920-1932, During the early 20s, garments tended to be very loose-fitting, which hid any curves and created a boyish look. Later in the period, garments became much tighter around the arms and hips. The feminine look, 1932-1935, This was a much more elegant time, and looking natural was the desired trend. Everything was designed to flatter the female form and make you look slimmer and taller. The fitted, tailored look, 1935-1937, Necklines became higher and collars were focal points of a garment. Frills, ruffs and lacy stitches added femininity. Sweaters were shorter and emphasised narrow waists. Smart suits and puffed sleeves, 1937-1940, The formal, tailored look became very popular for during the day, while puff sleeves were great for occasionwear. Chunky sweaters in one bold colour were also a big hit. The square look, 1940-1949, Wartime fashions had to be functional and hardwearing, meaning knits were warm and practical. Square shoulders gave an impression of strength and there was less lace. In the latter part of the decade more bows and decorative aspects were reintroduced. All with sizes 30 to 60 inches. ; 300 x 210mm; 356 pages .
