Please note that the copyright date on vintage commercial patterns NEVER matches the actual date of issue. For some reason, they copyright date, which is the only date I've ever seen on these, is always EARLIER than the actual pattern and style.
The Vogue pattern (2885) looks very much like a wool wedding suit I have seen, from WWII. The suit was made by a tailor (the bride worked for him) and the jacket was straight on the bottom, not shaped like the Vogue pattern. The skirt was more A-line, less tapered. BTW, the suit was from Minnesota.
