Back To School Fashions

New fashions for the back to school crowd have always been important. Girls from eleven to nineteen will make the grade with two-piece dresses this fall. They can be worn with a sweater on campus or with a blouse either on the campus or in town. The swing skirts are comfortable and flattering. Colors this fall will be cinnamon brown or bronze green. Plaids will also be popular.

This is the forecast for the fall of 1937 according to Country Gentleman magazine.

Schiaparelli Double Mint Gum Scarf Dress

I was flipping through a new to me Country Gentleman magazine dated April, 1938, when I found a fantastic offer from Wrigley's Doublemint Gum. The caption reads picture yourself in this new Schiaparelli Double Mint gum scarf dress from Paris. Made available to you from Double Mint Gum in Simplicity pattern 2740.

The dress ties scarf can be worn as an apron or take it off the dress and use as a handy platochek, or headscarf. When in need of a bag, knot the scarf-apron thusly. More double duty! Shown worn as an ascot at the neckline, this is a double-mint dress!

I just love finding interesting information like this. Stay tuned for more fashions of the thirties over the next few weeks as I have a whole stack of these wonderful magazines to share with you.
