Add to SetSummary
Famous aviatrix Amelia Earhart launched a fashion line in 1934. The garments--with simple lines and mid-range prices--were inspired by Earhart's interest in functional clothing for active living. For those who couldn't afford the ready-made versions, sewing patterns for some of Earhart's designs were available through Woman's Home Companion magazine. Page 33 of this issue features an Earhart two-piece dress.
