USE
This is a tissue paper pattern for recreating the vintage couture suit shown on the pattern sheet. The original pieces are perorated tissue paper and should be handled with care. The large instruction sheet includes a text description, drawing of the style, diagram of pieces, back view sketch of the style, cutting chart, material useage charts, the measurement chart of the company, a cutting diagram, construction guide, notions needed and material suggestions. The small instruction sheet has construction tips.
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.
