This is a very cool iconic style, for a summer traveller. The main illustrated bolero ensemble is elegantly tonal, the cummerbund making the look. Super vogue, super cool.
The bolero or crop mandarine jacket has hook and eye, fold-over closing with frog accents at front with sleeveless or 3/4 length sleeves. Pants and shorts have left side zipper closing. Cummerbund is gathered and has hook and eye closing.

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 text description of the styles, front & back view sketches of the styles, material useage charts and notions needed. The information sheet shows a general process of construction with some tips, a guide to the pieces and cutting guides.
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.
