Betty-Lou Frock Pattern Promises Pretty Little Shoes
A 1912 sewing pattern advertisement invites girls to wear frocks with petti coats and fitted backs. It lists sizes 8, 4, 10, 12, and 14, requires 24 yards fabric for size 8, and 345 yards for trimming. Printed in a nostalgic tone, it offers step-by-step illustrated sewing instructions and requests orders to Sewing Circle Pattern Department, 243 West Seventeenth Street, New York City.
