This replicated pattern is sized to fit a 36 inch bust.
This 1931 reproduction sewing pattern features a ladies one piece day frock with flared angled skirt detailing and gathered front center bodice with bow. Two style sleeves include long with attached bell shape beginning at the elbow or short version with flutter edge. Lovely silhouette with feminine tie belt giving the appearance of wrap styling.
Photos #2, #3 & #4 shows this made up with vintage fabric, thanks to Jennifer - read her fabulous blog here: http://www.thesewingroomalameda.com/blog/2017/8/22/sewing-my-gatsby-prototype-using-a-vintage-dress-as-my-muslin.
The other version shown was made in white linen with a handmade flower brooch pinned at the neckline. Directions for the brooch are NOT part of this pattern. Note that the white dress does not fit mannequin properly so the drape may look a bit distorted whereas Jennifer's fits like a glove - And, it's only her mock up. Wow!

**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.
