Design
Ladies' Home Journal Pattern 3047 is a nine-piece design built in layers. A gathered chemisette, finished with a standing collar, fills in the neckline and can be cut lower along its own perforated guide. Over this sits a one-piece straight-gathered skirt paired with a matching gathered tunic, which may be left plain or cut with slashes at front and back, all set at the regulation waistline. The full-length sleeve is perforated so it can be shortened to seven-eighth or short length, giving several finished looks from one set of pieces.
A Moment in Fashion History
The layered tunic-over-skirt silhouette seen here was a defining shape of the early-to-mid 1920s, letting a dress read as simple day wear while still offering the visual interest of a separate overlayer. A chemisette insert like this one was a practical period device, letting a single dress bodice be dressed up or down at the neckline without altering the garment's basic construction.
