Advance Pattern Fashion News - January-February 1945

This 8-page January-February 1945 Advance Pattern Fashion News opened the final year of the war looking toward spring. The cover shows a saddle-stitched jumper over a peasant blouse (3833), and "Styled for Spring" follows with a short military cape over an over-all skirt, a bolero with pleated skirt, and a blanket-stitched peasant jumper. Patterns featured in Mademoiselle offer a peplum dress and a hug-me-tight suit, each in day or evening length, and a romantic off-the-shoulder "robe de style." "Styles to Greet Spring" spreads across two pages of afternoon dresses, one promising that "the side-swept effect is 1945," along with long peplums, a jerkin set, and a pinafore-effect dress. "To Make - and Mix" offers easy skirts, an umbrella-pleated jumper, and man-tailored slacks with a cape, "Styled for Youth" outfits schoolgirls, and the back cover, "Wardrobe Tonic," presents three jackets, a suit, and a coat with Chinese-inspired frog fastenings, with the store imprint of Schuster's in Milwaukee. Patterns sold for 15, 25, and 35 cents.
