The waist closes under the left arm, its crossed-over fronts forming a soft, wrapped V-neckline, with long set-in sleeves finished in two pieces for a close, tailored fit through the arm. The front yoke and upper sleeve are meant to be cut separately, allowing them to be made up in a contrasting fabric for a two-tone effect, or the entire dress can be made of one material for a simpler look. The attached four-piece circular skirt, finished with a back hip-yoke, is worn under a narrow self-belt at the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"fashion-history\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Own patterns like this one were sold under a private label rather than the New York Pattern Company's own branded name, letting small department and dry-goods stores offer a full dressmaking line as if it were their own house brand. The option to cut the yoke and sleeves in a contrasting fabric reflects a popular early-1930s trick for stretching a limited dress budget - a small amount of a special fabric could dress up a garment made mostly from cheaper yardage, a practical touch that suited exactly the value-priced shoppers this line was aimed at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"connections\" data-connection-type=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern is part of our ongoing exhibit, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintage4me2.com\/collections\/in-name-only\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Name Only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e - a growing collection of New York Patterns and Own Name Patterns from the 1930s.
