Design
New York Pattern 109 gives a young girl a tailored, grown-up coat. The double-breasted front closes with three pairs of buttons beneath a wide, pointed collar, inset welt pockets sit at the hips, and small buttons trim the cuffs of the one-piece set-in sleeves. In the illustrated back view, long seamed panels open into fullness at the hem, worked in a herringbone-style tweed. The coat is made from seven pattern pieces (front, side-back, back, collar, pocket welt, pocket, and sleeve), with one-half of the pattern provided. For Size 6, the envelope calls for 1½ yards of 54-inch coat fabric and 1½ yards of 39-inch lining, and the finished coat measures 25 inches at center back including a 1-inch hem. Complete instructions are printed inside the envelope.
A Moment in Fashion History
By 1933 home sewing was as much about economy as style, and a well-cut coat was among the garments most worth making at home. This envelope carries the NRA Blue Eagle emblem, the symbol of the National Recovery Administration, which businesses began displaying in 1933, placing the pattern in the early New Deal years. Girls' fashions of the period followed their mothers' closely, and the tailored double-breasting here comes straight from the grown-up wardrobe. The same design appears on a New York Pattern catalog page in our archives as "Coating Young Daughter," priced at 15 cents. The envelope also pairs the New York Pattern skyscraper logo with a printed "Own Name" trademark line, a reminder that the company sold its designs under more than one label.
