--- DESCRIPTION ---

Period Description:
Women’s and Misses’ Blouse. The most attractive of frilled collars is this new one, which is cut in one with the sleeves and the upper part of the blouse. The shirred shoulders release fulness in the sleeves which may be long and shirred at the wrist, or short and gathered to sleeve bands. There’s a bow at the point of the open neckline.

Please note that the shirrings are done to a stationary stay at both the shoulder and the wrist.  The raised waistline cuts across the bustline, and is not unde-rbust, as was common for this part of the 1930s.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED LEVEL SEWING PATTERN
This pattern’s original instructions are very minimal, which is true to the period. These instructions tell how to put the basic blouse together. We have added one page of text for watchpoints while working with this pattern. If you wish to do more detailed sewing instruction, we suggest using a sewing book in addition to these instructions.
A few links are provided to visuals for shirring to a stay, and visuals of lapped seams (from other pattern releases, but the same methods can be applied to this pattern).

SIZING

ONE SIZE ONLY at this time.
Bust 36”, Waist 30”, Hip 39”

NOT a multi-size pattern. This pattern has many markings and an unusual cut, which made it too complicated for nested grading, so we decided to offer it in the original size so current sewing enthusiasts can enjoy it in its original from.

--- 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 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.
