A nice, never used accessory pattern (82 years old but looks new) which includes a set of sweater collars, also called dickys + frilly smocked cuffs. The dicky can be fashioned with Peter Pan style collar, convertible style or a soft smocked collar for round necks. Dickys are also great for wearing under collarless shirts or dresses. They are classic in white, but black is mega-exquisite.
The monogram shown in view B is from pattern No. 644. blue, if you would like a monogram design from the 40s just write me a note when purchasing.

USE
This is a tissue paper pattern for recreating the styles shown on the pattern cover. The original pieces are printed tissue paper and should be handled with care. The envelope back has a diagram of pattern pieces, material useage chart and material suggestions. The information sheet shows a general process of construction with embroidery & smocking instructions.
In order to recreate a style you will need to purchase your material, notions and anything you might need for embellishing. To test the fit, before using expensive fabric, purchase muslin & recreate the style in a basic version. It is advisable to make a paper copy when resizing or altering the design.
CARE
- For small tears, use archival tape or a glue stick & tissue paper.
- Store the pattern in its protective sleeve or bag to reduce breakage and further discoloring.
