This PDF features a replicated pattern sized to fit a 32/34 Inch bust. There is a bit of wiggle room as bolero is not meant to be secured at front. Waist is small but can also be adjusted slightly by reducing the tightness of the gathering. Thank you Chelsea for sharing your photos @satorialstatement.

This reproduction sewing pattern features a Ladies Bolero Jacket with sleeves in one with the jacket. Gathered Waist, optional trim or soutache will complete the look.

SUGGESTED MATERIALS: Linen, Cotton, Canton Crepe, Light Woolens, Pique.

This pattern has NO INFORMATION regarding yardage or fabric layout but wider 58" fabric is suggested. It has an odd layout so a muslin in a must to determine fabric requirements and fit.

This pattern has been re-digitized into it's current format. All content falls under the copyright www.BeespokeVintagePatterns.com 2020, and as such, no portion of this pattern may be photocopied or reproduced by any means without written consent.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The source material from which these early patterns are replicated contain much less information than the more modern patterns from the 1920's and 1930's. Patterns and fashion journals published during these eras presumed that the home seamstress possessed sufficient skills to construct a garment without detailed directions. As a result, patterns for facings, linings and other details - such as instructions on how to create trims, are sketchy at best -- and usually non-existent.

Be aware that all of these patterns run small compared to our modern bodies, and were drafted with the understanding that "proper" undergarments and corsets would be worn underneath. Armholes especially tend to be much tighter and smaller than modern garments. It is very important when sewing these items to make a fitting mock-up of the pattern out of muslin or other waste fabric, and make all of the adjustments for your individual figure on the mock-up.

**PLEASE KEEP IN MIND**
This is an exact copy of the original vintage pattern and as such may retain any original errors or miscalculations in formatting native to the original pattern.  While I have made up some of these patterns, I have not tested them all out and cannot attest to their accuracy or perfect fit.  As with all garment construction, it is best to make a mock-up for fitting in test fabric prior to cutting and constructing with your final fashion fabric.
