Crazy For Scalloped Edges




"Show frills and femininity this season" - so said an advertisement from 1940 for a dress ("frock") pattern with scalloped details at the shoulder. It seems as though anything goes this season, but there is a definite trend towards a more ladylike silhouette with lots of feminine details.
