Girls’ Patterns, 1926

In my collection of Twenties patterns I have a group of children’s patterns that are shown in the McCall’s Quarterly for Winter 1926-27. (Many thanks to Debby for sharing the images.) I noticed something interesting about the envelope engravings. Observe:

McCall 4666 1920s girl's dress and coat pattern by Lina Mouton
McCall 4666 by Lina Mouton (1926) Girl’s ensemble.
McCall 4666 small size 1920s ensemble costume pattern by Lina Mouton
McCall 4666 by Lina Mouton (1926) Younger girl’s ensemble.

Special engravings for the smaller sizes! Here’s another example from my collection:

McCall 4640 1920s girl's coat designer pattern by Mignapouf
McCall 4640 by Mignapouf (1926) Girl’s coat.
McCall 4640 1920s younger girl's coat designer pattern by Mignapouf
McCall 4640 by Mignapouf (1926) Younger girl’s coat.

Have you seen this on children’s patterns from other decades?

Happy Mother’s Day!
