The major fashion sewing patterns offer pattern pieces with printing on them to help with the construction... but the question is when did each company  make the jump to printed patterns.   Here is a little chart showing the first years that each company offered printed patterns

 

McCall  1919

Pictorial Review 1924

Butterick 1950

Advance 1956

Vogue 1957

Simplicity 1939 on some patterns which cost 25 cents rather the the 15 cents for the unprinted ones.  It was not until the 50s that all were printed.

Du Barry all unprinted

Hollywood all unprinted

New York all unprinted
