Summer 1926. Butterick Quarterly Fashion Pattern Book

The Greater Boston Vintage Society's annual Roaring 20's Lawn Party will be here before we know it! Are you planning to attend? Do you need some last minute inspiration for your lawn party outfit? Well, have a look at the illustrations in this 1926 summer addition of this Butterick Quarterly Fashion Pattern Book.

From beach attire to formal wear for both ladies and young girls, this pattern book has you covered! I particularly like the green/white and red/white dresses on the cover. You don't often see or think about polka dots in the 1920s but there they are!

There are even some tips on what fabrics to pick for wearing during hot weather! And do I see pajamas's? Why yes, I do!

So which outfit would you wear to a lawn party? Yours truly will be attending the GBVS lawn party at the Crane Estate so be sure to stop by and say hello!
