Pattern Tour, 1940 Hooded Blouse, Wide Leg Trousers and Overalls SE40-3322

Pattern Tour, SE30-3891 the 1930 Dress, Slip, Coat & Hat

15-piece pattern for the dress with optional slip, open coat and Newport-style hat.   The coat (3-piece pattern) may be ordered as a separate.  The dress skirt may be accordion-pleated and comes with flounced slip (8-piece pattern) sold as a set aside from the entire ensemble. I designed this pattern based on the color rendering originally sketched by a pattern company artist at a runway show in 1930.  The caption written on the original reads: 'Seen at the fashion show.  Coarse black net.  Black taffeta bands.' NOTE: The dress, slip and coat are very close fitting at the hip (1" ease).  As I recommend with all of my patterns,...
