Design
Pattern 3015 was styled as a "smart general-wear frock," originally shown made up in navy serge or tricotine with a panel front of pleated, tea-dyed batiste. The front panel can be left plain or knife-plaited for extra fullness, while the V-neck offers the choice of a collar or a square-cut alternative. The kimono sleeve, dart-fitted for a close full-length fit, is perforated so it can be finished short instead - giving the dress real range across seasons.
A Moment in Fashion History
Pattern 3015 appeared in the April 1921 issue of The Ladies' Home Journal, described as a smart, general-wear frock suited to sturdier fabrics like navy serge. Its practical detailing - a plaited panel front, adaptable neckline, and convertible sleeve length - reflects the era's emphasis on versatile, everyday dressmaking that could serve a woman through more than one season.
