Pattern Tour D30-6529, 1930's House, Beach or Sports Dress

  10-piece hand-drafted pattern originally from Pictorial Review, 'Sleeveless and backless, except for bands that cross in back, this is easy to make. Shoulder ruffles are optional. This model is in wrap-around style and fastens on the right side with a button and on the left side with tie-strings.’  This pattern was originally marketed as a Sports Dress, but I see it well fit as a house or beach dress. Love those strap flounces! RECOMMENDED FABRICS: Satin, Rough silk crepe, moire, metal fabrics, velvet, lace, rayon, celanese or bemberg.   Sizes: Size set A fits 14-20 (32" to 38" bust, 26" to 32"...
