Vintage 40s Chicago Daily Times Mail Order Sewing Pattern 8335 Tailored Frock Dress Uncut - all 12 pieces/never used and in their original folds.
Size 14 (vintage!), Bust 32
Mail-order unprinted tissue paper sewing pattern distributed by the Chicago Daily Times Pattern Department, design number 8335. This pattern contains pieces and instructions to construct two views of a classic tailored misses' day dress. The primary silhouette features a defined waist panel, a button-front bodice with a structured notched collar lapel layout, short cap sleeves, and a sleek, multi-panel straight skirt with front pocket detail. The alternate option features a clean, collarless V-neckline variation. Complete with the companion instruction sheet and printed mail-order envelope.
Condition: New With Imperfections. Outer envelope sheet shows typical age-related toning, corner wear, and small archival creases. Interior tissue sheets remain factory-folded and completely unused. Instructions with no stains or tears.
REFUND POLICY: I do not refund based on issues of fit and size. Please check the measurements above carefully and compare them with a similar item you own that fits you the way you like. If you have any concerns, please send me a message. I love answering your questions!
**From the 30s through the 50s, regional newspapers like the Chicago Tribune did not manufacture their own sewing patterns. Instead, they partnered with central mail-order syndicates. Marian Martin (along with Anne Adams) was one of the largest proprietary brands managed by these syndicates (specifically Reader Mail, Inc.). To make readers feel like they were buying an exclusive product from their local paper, the syndicates printed custom mailing envelopes marked "Chicago Daily Times". The pattern illustration sheet inside omitted the brand name entirely.
*** Marketed via small, single-column text advertisements in the newspapers where the ads featured a small line drawing of the dress alongside a brief description and a mail-in coupon.
