Design
Ladies' Home Journal Pattern 3827 gives two finished looks from four pieces. The one-piece camisole top can be cut without a hem at the upper edge for a plain finish, or hemmed with a drawstring eyelet for View B. Below it, a two-piece circular skirt joins at the side seams, with a choice of an even lower edge or a longer, uneven hemline; alternately, a one-piece straight plaited skirt - twenty backward-turning plaits worked into each half - offers a fuller, more structured silhouette.
A Moment in Fashion History
This pattern was featured by name in the Ladies' Home Journal's own February 1923 lingerie feature for brides, "Lingerie for the Spring Bride," which pointed shoppers toward tailored, straight-lined underthings finished in crepe de chine, batiste, or handkerchief linen - a shift away from the fussier, heavily trimmed lingerie of earlier decades toward the cleaner lines the magazine associated with the modern trousseau.
