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.

As always a great pattern from this vendor. As always, I made a few changes to it and cut most pieces on the bias, then I added pockets and loops and buttons. It's a pretty easy dress to make without my changes, a dress that could be done in one afternoon.

Perfect 1930's Day Dress to wear when driving our 1929 Model A Ford. The pattern looks easy to assemble but the hand stitching to finish the seams may take me a while. Thank You for preserving these patterns. You can not imaging how much it means to those of us with antique cars that we can have a quality 'frock' to enhance the display of our automobiles. Original dresses that we can wear in Florida simply do not exist. Original summer weight fabrics from the 1920's and 1930's dry rotted quickly. Thank You again!
