Vogue Sewing Patterns
In 1899 VOGUE Magazine published a weekly pattern feature, which showed the
consumer a pattern that could be purchased by sending in 50 cents with the coupon.
Only one size was available.............a 36 inch bust. By 1905 the once-weekly pattern
service had evolved into an entire Pattern Department, thanks to Rosa Payne who
convinced the editors to print one of her patterns.
In 1909 Vogue was purchased by Conde Nast and the demand for "Vogue" designs
became so large that Mr Nast increased the availability and widened the style range.
The Vogue Pattern Company was formed in 1914 and department stores started selling
the patterns in 1916.
In the early 30's, Ladies Home Journal discontinued their HOME patterns and featured
Vogue Patterns in their Fashion Section instead of the traditional Home Patterns.
There were several different numbering sequences. Their Regular line, Childrens,
Special Design and their Couturier line.
Vogue Patterns made news in the fashion industry by announcing the availability of Paris
Original Models in 1949, featuring leading French Couturiers.
Conde Nast signed a licensing agreement in 1961, with Butterick to use and trademark
the Vogue Pattern name.
This list is compiled from various Vogue Magazines and counter books. There are gaps
and as stated before, a pattern might be published for several years so once again, this
is a guide line and not a definitive list.
