I'm finally getting around to scanning images from my Peterson's Magazines I got at an antique store in North Carolina this past May.

First we have a pattern for an evening polonaise. The pattern is not to scale! Click on photo for a larger image.

Ditto on the thanks for sharing. I love reading the commentary text: "maize and black velvet also look well..." And I'm struck that if you cross your accessory frills in the front, it's a "fichu", but if you cross them in the back, it's a "cape," lol!
