Design
New York 220 is a tuck-in blouse built with front and back yokes, its inset front bands underfaced and rolled into notched revers alongside an attached collar. Long sleeves are perforated so they can be cut short instead, and patch pockets with flaps appear on both the blouse front and the skirt. The set includes side-closing separate shorts as well as a three-piece circular skirt that closes at the front, letting the same tailored blouse pair with either a sport-ready bottom or a fuller, more ladylike one.
A Moment in Fashion History
This pattern appears in Vintage4me2's own New York Pattern Company catalog directly alongside pattern 238, the two shown together as companion styles for the active, warm-weather wardrobe of the early 1930s. The shared yoke, patch-pocket detailing, and convertible sleeve length reflect a period when tailored separates were increasingly built for versatility — a single blouse meant to serve a woman whether she was in a skirt for town or shorts for sport.
