All content falls under the copyright www.BeespokeVintagePatterns.com 2004, and as such, no portion of this pattern may be photocopied or reproduced by any means without written consent. See below for a review of this pattern: "This pattern was easy to work with and easily altered for use with modern undergarments. The back of the waist was on the short side, while the front was a bit long. I lengthened the elbow length guimpe sleeves. The instructions for the "guimpe as french lining" seemed confusing, but I ended up not needed those instructions since I made the guimpe separate with buttons down the back so it would also work with other dresses. I sewed the waist to a skirt to make it into a dress. The instructions do not have illustrations and aren't as helpful as modern "Big 4" patterns, as stated, but seemed fine to me, although I am experienced enough to get along without them. I made this pattern for a 38" bust, 30" waist and it fit without major alterations. 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. Patterns are reproduced directly from the original source material, with no changes in order to retain the historical accuracy of the pattern. Prior sewing experience and knowledge of working with vintage patterns is recommended. , then and under your receipt, . 247541826

Great pattern!
I was lucky enough that the pattern has my size so I could work with it right away. You need some sewing knowledge to figure it out but if you've worked with historical patterns before, this one is on the easier side.
I like to use patterns like this because I cannot be bothered to copy them from the chaos that is original pattern sheets with numerous patterns on one page. So I'm super happy that Deirdre provides these versions! Thank you!
