This pattern is recommended for an experienced seamstress with prior knowledge of working with vintage patterns. For our test sample, the front Vestee trimming was rather confusing to assemble. The pieces have been included as have the original directions for you to determine if (and how) you wish to use them. The design in no way suffers from the omission as the trim is purely optional - see pink/stripe version. 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. 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. Our patterns include seam allowances, grain lines and updated text for ease of construction. 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, . Paper pattern is available for purchase here: www.etsy.com/listing/896075275
