A late 1940s teen's dress for school by DuBarry. Note the fuller gored skirts hinting at the "new look" to come in the 1950s when fabric rationing was no longer a hindrance!

A 1940s older teen's blouse and skirt pattern. This is a wonderful look. It reminds me a lot of Shirley Temple's clothing from her teen films.

A young teen's dress pattern by DuBarry, circa 1944. I love the cummerbund waist and the gathered shoulder yokes, reminiscent of my ladies' 1940s "Swing" Dress Pattern. Note the option for a confirmation dress at the lower left-hand corner.

This 1940s teen dress has a bit of a "south-of-the-border" flavor to it. I love the embroidery featured around the hem and the neckline on the second dress. A simple but charming style for the older teenager.
