This is a digital COPY of a 1928 Dressmaking booklet "Easy Ways to Pretty Frocks" offered as a PDF/Ebook. The actual e-book is a higher quality scan, my preview pics here are purposely low-res. The booklet has actual instructions for drafting your own Flapper style drop-waist dress as well as drafting a simple camisole, bloomers and nightgown. Instructions are given for taking the basic dress pattern and adding special touches and embellishments. There are even instructions for making and embellishing a cloche hat. You could potentially make your own 1920's wardrobe from this little booklet. See below and index page pic for a complete list of what it includes. Really adorable illustrations. Would be a valuable resource for Dressmaking or Costume Design. Also great for anyone planning a 1920's or Art Deco themed wedding! Booklet is 34 pages and includes the following;

-A 1920's guide to dressing correctly for the occassion and your figure type
