This is rather a budget publication, being only 3 pence (3d), compared to Paris Mode which was 9 pence (9d) and Leach’s Six Penny Knitting Series (6d). Free patterns featured in every issue and then after a brief text about what was in fashion, the rest of the magazine acts as a catalogue for Leach’s sewing patterns, which were 9d including postage. Each issue has a different topic, for example Schoolgirl’s Outfits, Styles For the Matron, Toddlers’ wear etc. (In case anyone is wildly interested, I took down a list of each issues specialism from the set of 1925 I was looking at – see bottom of post).
Issue 91 – Jumper & Jumper Skirts – 3 free patterns. Inside patterns available in 34-40″ bust sizes
Issue 91
Issue 94 Ladies’ Underwear – 3 free pattern inside in 36″ bust. Patterns to send away for available in 34-40″ bust mostly, though some also in 42″.

Thank you for sharing. Those Matron patterns are hardly matronly, they are so elegant.
Oh my, these are exactly the styles of the 1920s that I love! Forget the glitzy evening dresses, I want all of those gorgeous tops and skirts. I actually cannot pick a favourite as I adore them all! xx
What a marvelous find. The pattern graphics look to be in excellent condition for their age.
The illustrations are utterly gorgeous. I adore the striped pyjamas – they seem to epitomise the androgynous styles of the twenties. Perfection.
