See below for a review of this pattern:
'I've wanted to make myself a period beach outfit for ages. This is a great style and the pattern fits very well. (I'm 5'4" & a UK size 10/12) An easy make too. The only alterations I made were shortening the skirt and under-shorts about 2" and making the band at the bottom of the bra the same width as the waistband. And I'll probably use the under-shorts pattern to make myself a pair of simple 1940's style trousers too...'

**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.
