Vogue pattern 1298, Patou's pale-blue linen day costume. It's a soft, short-sleeved jacket over a slender sleeveless dress cut in wide V's, front and back.
Vogue pattern 1299, a Paquin design for late-day. The short-sleeved dress (black and white faille) has a black jacket with not-quite-long sleeves.
Vogue pattern 1303 from the Fath collection: a raspberry wool coal; an overblouse dress with a pleated skirt, of raspberry-dotted grey surah.I found an image of the actual pattern on the Vintage Pattern Wiki:
The back-dipping jacket collar: Lanvin-Castillo's signature this year. Natural shantung jacket over a slender black dress. Vogue pattern 1297.
This one was also in the Vintage Pattern Wiki:
Amazing designs, no? I think the Patou design may be my favourite (though the Paquin one is in a close second for me). I love how the Paquin one is for late-day as opposed to evening or early day. Ah, to be Parisian in the 1950's....
Which one is your favourite?
