Undated but appears to date from the mid-1940s - either the latter part of WWII or shortly afterwards (there are references to wool rationing).

Slim softback booklet with paper covers - 16 pages (including cover) - illustrated with black and white photographs

Features the usual chic selection of women's garments - please see photos for details.
As was customary at the time, the instructions for each garment are provided in one size only (although the precise size varies from garment to garment). All garments are within the 34" - 36" buy size range. If you would like further information on the sizings for particular garments prior to purchase, please feel free to contact me

A scarce and highly collectible volume.

In reasonably good condition overall. Some wear and tear to cover - scuffing/creasing and slight grubbiness in places. Vertical creasing throughout. A few small dents here and there. Noticeable corner creasing and a small edge tear to back cover. Staples have started to rust (though they are still intact). A few small rust marks here and there. General age discolouration/tanning. But otherwise good. Binding is tight. Spine is intact. No loose pages. Internal pages are clean with no stains, edge tears or annotations. Please see photos for more information.

Any questions, please feel free to ask

You are purchasing the ORIGINAL paper booklet, not a copy

Shipping costs are usually estimated at time of listing (particularly for combined shipping). If I find that I have grossly overestimated the shipping costs (after allowing a small amount for packaging) I will, of course, refund the difference.
