1925 Dress Decoration and Ornament. Published by the Woman’s Institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences Inc Scranton PA. These were instructional manuals and this one is a larger format softcover (approx. 8.5”- 11.5”. There are 47 nice clean pages with page 47 being exam questions. It is one of several titles in this series and I know that I will have another to list with this as I find chinks of time and after I am back online again. Pic 1 is a page from latter of the soft cover book and Pic 2 is the cover. Pics 3&4 are the table of contents. Pics 5-10 are illustrations of different sections of the book. Cover has minor edge soil. Very good copy of a wonderful creative reference! This great old dressmaking publication will be in a lot of 2 on Etsy as soon as I have a laptop with the ability to get online (I am on my Hubby's desk top) and can only touch base with things.
