The upper and lower sections are joined in pointed outline and the top is finished with narrow shoulder straps. Lace or binding may be used to trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Note:\u003cbr\u003eThis garment is called a “Women’s Chemise” or “combination brassiere and panties”. Note that this garment was *not* meant to be supportive. Bras in this period were often a simple cover for\u003cbr\u003emodesty and often not “supportive” like a modern brassiere. This\u003cbr\u003ewould have been worn under dresses for a smooth line, not for body support. Cup sizes were not available in this pattern so adjustments may be needed. It also retains the very low “crotch length” of vintage garments. You may wish to adjust the fit for your figure.  The lower portion of this garment is cut on the bias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--- SIZE ---\u003cbr\u003eThis pattern is in one size only- Bust 38\", Waist 32\", Hip 41\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis original period pattern has NOT been tested for fit or construction.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e---  USE POLICY  ---\u003cbr\u003eBy purchasing this pattern you agree to the following terms:  This e-pattern is licensed exclusively to the person who purchases this pattern from Wearing History for the sole purpose of home sewing use by the individual who purchases the pattern.  Commercial or production use or making items to sell from this pattern is prohibited.  Do not share this pattern by email or any other form.  Remember, I make my living by using my talents to make these patterns available.  Help support indie small business by telling your friends to purchase their own copy of this pattern from http:\/\/wearinghistory.etsy.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wearing History","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48241964220671,"sku":"E-R163","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/7311\/4623\/files\/E-R163CoverWEB.jpg?v=1772656765","url":"https:\/\/wearinghistorypatterns.com\/en-ca\/products\/e-pattern-size-38-bust-mid-1930s-combination-underwear-bias-cut-teddy-pattern","provider":"Wearing History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
