This 1931 PDF features a replicated pattern sized to fit a petite woman with a 34 inch bust.

Advertised as a pattern for the 'Little Woman'', this evening gown was designed with the petite or short-waisted woman in mind. Body hugging gown has a plunging back and deep 'V' inset. Shoulder straps are twisted and the beautifully pointed seams and center fullness in front and back give the desired effect of height.

The cape shown in photo #2 is NOT part of this pattern - this customer made up this wrap to match her dress.

SUGGESTED MATERIALS: Plain or Printed SIlk, Rayon, Crepe, Satin, Velvet.

DRESS AS SHOWN:
39 Inch Wide Material Without Nap 4-1/2 Yards

This is a review from Daisy who is wearing the blue satin dress:
"This pattern was a success! I used satin, which worked very well, but silk would do well too. I got so many compliments thanks to this great pattern. I had to improvise on the side opening because I didn’t know how to do a continuous lap and the satin was very slippery (plus I was in a hurry), but over all it was very clear with following the numbers on the pattern pieces with the instructions. By the way, I am 5'6", and the length of the dress worked well for me, it was right above my ankles. Thank you! Five stars!"

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.
