Advance Pattern Fashion News - June 1945

This 8-page June 1945 Advance Pattern Fashion News opens with Advance 3951 on the cover, a cap-sleeve dress with a scallop-edged surplice blouse, printed in summer blue. Two pages of Advance designs featured in Mademoiselle follow: "Flattering Fashions," with a double-breasted housecoat with a coachman collar, a soft negligee that doubles as a town dress, and a beribboned housecoat, and "For the Seaside Set," with a three-piece playdress billed as a week-end capsule wardrobe and a three-piece sun suit of bra, shorts, and jacket. The center spread gathers shirt frocks, an afternoon dress, a cardigan suit, and a one-piece casual in sizes up to 48. "Fashion Highlights" adds a dirndl dress and a princess dress for juniors and a beach set with a coolie coat, hat, and cartwheel bag. "And 'Sew' - for the Men!" offers sports shirts and lumberjackets for men and boys, one waist-length "like General Eisenhower's," in time for Father's Day. The back page, "Lines for Teens," salutes "Miss Sewing America," reminds her that her savings can buy more bonds, and carries the store imprint of Schuster's in Milwaukee. Patterns sold for 15, 25, and 35 cents.
