Fashion illustration from Delineator, Sepember 1920.
I was browsing through my 1920 images, trying to find something bright and colorful — but, as often happens, I got sidetracked.
Apparently, the studio where Butterick pattern illustrations were done had a supply of pleated hats in 1920. Here are a few:
A hat with large pleats, Delineator, February 1920.
A hat gloriously pleated and adorned with roses. March, 1920.
Here’s the blouse worn with the first hat I featured. (This hat also had a flower on the pleats.)
Pleated hat with Butterick blouse 2619. September 1920.
Just to prove these hats existed…
Movie star Bebe Daniels looks world-weary in her pleated hat. February 1920, Delineator.
This one looks like a pleated tam-o-shanter:
Delineator, December 1920.
Big pleats, high fashion expression. Delineator, February 1920. (Look at that hand, too.)
