PRINTED PATTERN- MAILED TO YOU!
Misses' Blouse- A Multi-Size Pattern Based on a Period Original.
This romantic early 1950’s blouse is reminiscent of 1930s and Victorian styles. The blouse features a dropped shoulder, into which can be inserted a long sleeve with gathers at the cuff, a 3/4 sleeve with a winged cuff, or a short puffed sleeve. The blouse fastens up the front with three visible buttons and one button under the collar at the neckline. A bow made from self fabric cording ties at the neck or 3/4 sleeve cuff.
SIZE
This pattern has been multi-sized to included sizes 32"-48" bust. Please see the listing images for size chart.
Please note sizes 40"-48" bust were originally not included but have been supplemented. This is based on a Misses' size vintage pattern. Junior', Women, Plus Size, and Petites will likely need more alterations.

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.
