This pattern was originally created Dec. 30, 1919 and has been re-digitized into it's current format. All content falls under the copyright www.BeespokeVintagePatterns.com 2002, 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, instructions on how to create trims, are sketchy at best -- and usually non-existent. Solid sewing skills and knowledge of working with vintage patterns is strongly recommended. 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. 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.
