Figure D 44. — LADIES’ OUTDOOR TOILETTE.

Figure D 44. — This consists of a Ladies’ jacket and skirt. The jacket pattern, which is No. 8661 and costs 1s. 3d. or 30 cents, is in thirteen sizes for ladies from twenty-eight to forty-six inches, bust measure, and may be seen differently portrayed on page 438 of this number of The Delineator. The skirt pattern, which is No. 8599 and costs 1s. 3d. or 30 cents, is in nine sizes for ladies from twenty to thirty-six inches, waist measure, and is shown on its accompanying label.

A leading style of jacket or blazer and skirt is shown at this figure. The jacket is here pictured made of a handsome quality of broadcloth, with a velvet collar and velvet cuff-facings, and the skirt of gay plaid wool goods. The loose fronts of the jacket are closed with four handsome cord frogs and are reversed in stylish lapels that form notches with the rolling coat collar. At the sides and back a close adjustment is effected by under-arm and side-back gores and a center seam and stylish outstanding flutes result from extra widths underfolded in box plaits at the middle three seams. One-seam sleeves that are gathered stand out in short leg-o���-mutton puffs at the top and are comfortably close-fitting below; they are completed with deep, round cuff-facings of velvet. Machine-stitching finishes the pocket laps and all the free edges of the jacket.

The skirt, which is known as the new bell skirt, is circular at the front and sides and in two gores at the back. At the front it flares stylishly and it ripples gracefully at the sides and back.

The most admired jackets are made of broadcloth, cheviot, etc., in any of the popular shades, and a velvet collar and cuffs and machine-stitching form the fashionable finish. With a stylish street jacket, a skirt of plain cloth or of bright plaid wool may be worn.

The large hat shows a lavish trimming of ostrich tips.

Lately I've been looking at the years right after the world financial crash, 1929 through about 1934, for ... reasons >.>

Magazines from the 1920s and early 30s are so interesting!

I love the Art Deco aesthetic, the illustrations, the fascinating and often weird ads, and not least, the fashions...

Fashion illustrations from the August 1931 "Delineator" Magazine, which sold paper patterns for Butterick.

"CHALK WHITE LEADS AT SMARTEST SUMMER PARTIES"

Three white women with very short, waved hair in sleeveless v-necked ankle-length evening dresses.

First, a white satin dress with thin shoulder straps and seams shaped like an "X" wrapping around the hips. She wears a matching belt and three bangle bracelets and a ring, all on her right hand.

Text: "POURED IN'' 4039 This is the way the smartest new dance frocks make one look -- they're sleek and fitted to the nth degree. This white satin dress has the diamond yoke that seen in many new fall models, and décolletage takes the same line.

Second, a dress with thin shoulder straps, a peplum (very short skirt or long ruffle) at the waist, and a self bow. She wears an elaborate jeweled necklace and long dark gloves that extend above the elbow.

Text: STIFFENED PEPLUM 4026 The crinolined peplum makes this frock especially the dress for youth. We suggest white taffeta because it is one of the youngest of evening fabrics and because youth wears it so well. Ankle length for dancing and deep V at back. Very simple to make.

Third, a dark lace dress worn over a visible colored slip with a straight-across neckline, 1920s style. There's a matching belt with a flower on the left. She also wears a simple short pearl necklace and medium short dark gloves pushed up to rumple at the wrists.

Text: SKIRTS DROP BEHIND 4041 The Paris openings showed many evening frocks with skirts longer in back than in front. This lace gown illustrates just how much longer. Plenty of flare below flat, slim hips. It's a gown with which to wear Molyneux' new shaded slip, for a very lovely effect.

Apparently The riddler has crazy distant family. Batman did not know that yet.

Only half way through the hunt, Riddler's announcement was interrupted.

"Oh second cousin twice removed Eddd!!! We respecting your privacy by delining to the family reunion letter we sented you but asserting my role as the older second cousin and bringing you to the reunion anyways!" Said a loud voice and the sound of some statics sounds and the multiples of female and males voices.

"-'m in the middle of something importan-."

"Nonsense, Dad made two containers Extra fudge swirl with almonds with the edible white chocolate ?s that you like, you're coming with us or not?" Said a bargaining male voice..

.....

.....

"...Fine, Danny but I want 4 more containers. Batman, I'ma take a rain check, the hostages are in Gotham Cathedral, hanging about with a timer attached to to the top of them." Riddler's voice sighed as the video cut off.

"Did you know he has a distant cousin, batman..?" Tim said a bit concerned by the lack of response, after they has check Riddler's hideout and there was no way of getting in without disactivating the traps set for them..

[said for the 10000th time] right yes before we can get on with the transfeminist agenda we just need to get through this one last round of litigation and taxonomizing so we can root out the perverse men making a mockery of womanhood from us Real True Trannies who are worth advocating for,

The Delineator, no. 4, Vol. XLVIII. Autumn Number. October 1896. Published by the Butterick Publishing Co. London & New York. Colored Plate 20. Figure D43. Evening Toilette. Internet Archive, uploaded by Albert R. Mann Library

Figure D 43. — LADIES’ EVENING TOILETTE.

Figure D 43. — This consists of a Ladies’ basque-waist and skirt. The basque-waist pattern, which is No. 8637 and costs 1s. 3d. or 30 cents, is in thirteen sizes for ladies from twenty-eight to forty-six inches, bust measure, and may be seen again on page 442 of this magazine. The skirt pattern, which is No. 8672 and costs 1s. 3d. or 30 cents, is in nine sizes for ladies from twenty to thirty-six inches, waist measure, and is differently portrayed on page 447 of this publication.

The ideas expressed in this toilette are calculated to suit the most fastidious taste. Rich faille silk with high lustre and having small black figures on its sulphur ground is handsomely offset by the decoration of chiffon, embroidery and ribbon. A well-fitted lining closed at the center of the front insures a becoming adjustment to the waist, which has a low, round neck and a full front closed along the left shoulder and under-arm seam. The fulness in the back is drawn well to the center in the same manner as in the front by gathers at the neck and shoulder edges and by shirrings at the bottom. The short puff sleeves are made with full linings, gathered, like the puffs, at the top and bottom. A coquettish effect is given by a dainty bow of ribbon on each shoulder, and a softly wrinkled ribbon surrounds the waist. The low neck is decorated with a double ruche of white chiffon.

The five-gored skirt is smooth fitting at the front and sides and may be gathered or plaited at the back. At the sides it ripples but slightly and at the front it flares broadly. The foot trimming consists of a soft, double ruche of white chiffon. Hand-wrought embroidery in black runs upward from the bottom in vine pattern, each spray starting from under a ribbon bow at the ruche.

The toilette is noteworthy not alone for its admirable grace and style but for the practical features embodied in the basque-waist and its susceptibility to variations. A high or low neck and full-length or elbow sleeves may be arranged, and elaborate or simple effects may be attained, according to the use for which the toilette is intended. Faille façonné, moire antique façonné, velvet and the light silks and delicate chiffons and laces which are always more or less fancied, will be chosen for dressy wear, and for more practical occasions mixtures of color, canvas textiles and mixtures of wool and mohair and other novelties will be selected. Lace, colored embroidery, jet passementerie and bands of jet-embroidered mousseline de sole are available for handsome decorations.

So I'm reading through some old 1920s fashion magazines and the illustrations are sometimes gorgeous, sometimes bizarre.

And sometimes they're vampires. These are so obviously vampires.
