***MANY THANKS to Vivien of freshfrippery.com for her beautiful photos of her wearing the blouse she made from this pattern! She adapted the front to allow for buttons- it's an easy pattern hack you can do yourself (instructions aren't included for button front)***

This listing is for an E-Pattern to print yourself at home on your home printer's USA letter and A4 sized paper. Now also include the A0 file to have printed at a copy shop!

--- DESCRIPTION ---

This day to evening blouse has your wardrobe covered, no matter whether you need something dressy or casual.

-Blouse-

The short sleeve blouse and short peplum looks cute in cotton prints. Great for novelty fabrics! The long sleeve tunic is elegant for formal dinner occasions or cocktail wear. Includes period illustrated instructions with added tips.

This pattern includes long or short gathered sleeves, a short or long peplum, and fastens at center front with a zipper, buttons, or snap closures. Ribbon bow accent, ribbon bow belt, fabric belt, or girdle sash are optional.

About Wearing History Resto-Vival™ Patterns

Resto-Vival™ Patterns are original historic patterns that have been restored and revived. Original patterns are usually available only in single sizes, precut from tissue paper and totally unprinted, with details like grainlines and darts indicated only by small perforations. Resto-Vival™ patterns are printed on sturdy bond paper instead of tissue and clearly marked with drawn and labeled markings. These markings aid the modern sewer in understanding the markings of the original pattern and the construction of the garment. Resto-Vival™ patterns follow the period shapes of the original patterns, maintaining the historical accuracy of the completed garment. Original period instructions are included. These instructions are text only (unless otherwise noted) and fairly minimal, especially compared to instructions for modern patterns. At least an intermediate knowledge of dressmaking and a good familiarity with pattern construction is suggested. You may choose to have a modern or period sewing book handy to help with basic construction methods that the pattern instructions do not cover in detail. Also, fitting a muslin mockup is strongly recommended, as all garments were meant to be worn over period foundation garments or corsetry.
