Vogue November 1960 - Designer Looks
Let's welcome November with some super-classy looks from VOGUE!
Vogue 1543
Here is the lovely Vogue 1543 a designer evening coat and dress combination with ultimate class by the House of PATOU. Patou himself died young in 1936, so this was designed by one of several in-house designers who took over the fashion line after his death. The catalog calls that interesting seaming "Sunburst seaming" and the pattern sold for a whopping $5. What gal wouldn't feel glamorous in this? It's red-carpet worthy!
Here are some House of Patou patterns from the Pattern Patter Team:
1.) Vogue 1358 from Wits End Design.
2.) Vogue 1482 from Grey Dog Vintage
3.) Vogue 1461 from Sydcam 123
Vogue 1536 and 1535
Here we have Vogue 1536 by SIMONETTA and Vogue 1535 by LANVIN. The brochure says they're perfect for a night at the theatre... what do you think? Glamorous indeed!
Simonetta, a designer in her own right (and a duchess, but that's another story) was married to another couture designer, Fabiani. Of course, Fabiani also had patterns for Vogue and remains incredibly popular! Lanvin died in the 1940s but her fashion house continued with house designers.
Here are some Simonetta patterns from team members:
1.) Vogue 1954 from Redcurlz's
2.) Spaeda S-215 from DRC Rose Patterns
3.) Vogue 1090 from Sew As It Was Patterns
