Looks from Advance, December 1937


Advance Patterns: December 1937

The holidays are upon us, and as a little treat... here's some looks from Advance from December 1937 for your stocking!  I hope you will enjoy this look at these rare patterns from the past.


Advance 1921, Advance 1929
On the cover we have these sharp and very military looks!  Maybe a little odd for Christmas time?  


Advance 1919

Here Advance touts their patterns for every occasion, from business to frilly, and features an interesting frock in Advance 1919 with what looks like starfish on the bottom.

Advance 1917; 1920; 1926; 1918


How about these stunning numbers?  Pretty elegant, and really classy!


Advance 1928; 1934; 1924

The long jacket is an interesting look, don't you think?


Advance 1924; 1932; 1933; 1930

Wow, these super-fitted dresses with all that ruching are really neato.

Advance 1150; 1617; 1419; 2011

"Last minute Christmas gifts, easily made!"  ... they seem to have more confidence in my last minute sewing abilities than I do. :)  Very sweet little girls' dress and coat, don't you think?  Not for a girl but for her dolly!  Oh, any doll would just love it.

Advance 1916; 1931; 1923; 1927; 1925

A lovely selection of dresses for girls and young ladies!

Advance 1922; 1921; 1929
On the back cover we have more businesslike looks and see that this brochure was from Mullen's in Nashua, N.H.

  5. Gorgeous patterns - if I had to select just one, it would be Advance 1933. That shirring is so elegant - really sets this dress apart. Could be a day or evening go-to.
