Features clothes such as lingerie, bridal, evening gowns, daywear, trousers, skirts, day dresses and more.
This magazine was originally attached to the regular edition of Vogue by a piece of string which ran through a hole punched through both magazines. Pattern supplements are much more difficult to find as most seem to have been discarded.
During World War II British Vogue was kept in print as a part of the war effort. One of its influences was to encourage people to recycle and contribute paper to the war effort. Conde Nast sent their archives to be pulped and had features on taking part in recycling effort.
As a result any British Vogue pre 1945 are some of the rarest magazines on the planet.
Excellent condition with natural light wear, see detailed photographs of this copy. This PATTERN BOOK would have originally been tied to the main issue of Vogue by a piece of string threaded through the purpose made hole to the top left of the magazine.
