The short kimono sleeve can be finished with a simple cuff, or extended to full length with a one-piece lower section, with or without a graceful flare below the wrist; on the full-length version, the cuff itself is repurposed as a trimming piece. The skirt is the standout feature: five tiers in all, with a straight lower edge on the bottom tier and gentle circular flare through the tiers above it, while the lower portion of the bodice itself forms the uppermost tier - a clever bit of construction that eliminates a separate seam at the natural waist. Fourteen pattern pieces in total. This particular envelope is a nice example of the era's economical production - rather than a separate instruction sheet, the full cutting guide and step-by-step \"How to Make\" instructions are printed directly on the back of the envelope itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the early-to-mid 1920s, the Ladies' Home Journal's Home Pattern Company was offering home dressmakers designs that captured the decade's move toward a straighter, looser silhouette and a dropped waistline. The tiered skirt seen in Pattern 3776 was a popular way to add movement and visual interest to that simplified shape without returning to the fitted, structured lines of the prior decade. This pattern was featured on the cover of the Home Pattern Company's Spring 1923 Fashion Quarterly, and was still appearing in the company's regular catalog listings by 1924 - a sign of its lasting popularity with home sewers of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIllustration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover illustration has been digitally restored and enhanced by Judy Yates to highlight the original fashion artwork while preserving the character and artistry of this historic Ladies' Home Journal pattern envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern is part of our ongoing exhibit, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintage4me2.com\/collections\/ladies-home-journal-new-old-stock-collection\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLadies Home Journal New Old Stock Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e - view our entire collection for a rare glimpse of how sewing patterns were designed and marketed for the whole family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Vintage4me2","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35826645270680,"sku":"lhj 3776-34B 3\/14\/2025cy","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/7206\/products\/LHJ-3776-frock-sz-16-aug-2020-WM.jpg?v=1597703142"},{"product_id":"ladies-home-journal-3730-1920s-rare-uncut-houseocat-32-b-vintage-sewing-pattern","title":"Ladies Home Journal 3570: 1920s Uncut Misses Dress 32 B Vintage Sewing Pattern","description":"\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOriginal 1922 Ladies' Home Journal Pattern No. 3570 - Misses' and Small Women's One-Piece Dress\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal \u003cstrong\u003e1922 Ladies' Home Journal Pattern No. 3570\u003c\/strong\u003e for a \u003cstrong\u003emisses' and small women's\u003c\/strong\u003e one-piece dress, slipped over the head and bloused by an elastic casing at a slightly low waistline.

The Ladies' Home Journal's own November 1922 fashion pages singled this blouse out for its dropped shoulder line - \"so smart this season,\" in the magazine's words - and suggested a range of fabric pairings to dress it up or down: a heavy silk crepe combined with georgette or chiffon, a blistered or quilted satin paired with plain satin, or, for something bolder, velvet with crepe georgette, matelasse, or brocaded satin. Depending on the fabric chosen, the same pattern could read as a dressy evening blouse or one suited to everyday office wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"fashion-history\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dropped shoulder line was one of the defining shapes of the early 1920s, softening the silhouette of a blouse without adding fitting complexity - a shift the Ladies' Home Journal called out directly in its November 1922 issue, showcasing Pattern 3702 alongside a companion embroidered blouse as two ways of achieving the same fashionable line.

The sleeves are just as flexible - a full-length, dart-fitted sleeve dresses up with a turn-back cuff (also offered in three depths), or the same sleeve can be perforated and cut short for warmer weather. Straight, loose-hanging panels fall at each side of the front, forming a pocket at the upper edge and extending gracefully below the dress's own lower hem. Eleven pattern pieces in total. The Ladies' Home Journal's own fashion pages illustrated this exact design in May 1923, made up in a firmly woven black-and-white striped linen, with the side panels cut so the stripe ran horizontally, and finished with a three-tiered collar of white organdie for contrast - sleeves could be worn short, as sketched, or extended to the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"fashion-history\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePattern 3922 appeared among a small group of designs the Ladies' Home Journal singled out in its May 1923 \"You Can Make These Smart-Looking Clothes\" feature, illustrated by artist Clara L. Ernst - proof that the magazine's own editors saw this slip-on dress as one of the season's smarter, easier home-sewing projects. Striped linens like the one shown here were an easy, inexpensive way for a home dressmaker to bring graphic interest to the increasingly simple, straight-lined silhouette of the early 1920s, without any added fitting complexity.

The bolero adds a cropped, kimono-sleeved topper; the one-piece gathered tunic drops over the dress with a defined girdle; the side panels attach at the dress's side seams for a draped, elongated line; and the front and back dress panels join at the shoulder for a full overlay effect.
