simplicity #1273; ©1944; bust 32; miss 14: one piece dress pattern:
This workwear design features buttons down the front and a notched collar. Tucks hold in fullness at the lower front edge. The gathers do the job at the lower back edge of the bodice. Princess seams run at either side of the center front and back of the skirt for a lean effect. The shoulder seams have interesting inset pocket-like details with buttons. Style I features integrated belt flaps, while using topstitching as an accent. Style II has long sleeves finished with wrist bands.
RESTORATION: because the original sleeve piece was damaged, new pieces were drawn out. A new long sleeve pattern piece has been redesigned and tested in muslin for fit. I also created a new piece for the collar (D) in tissue paper, as the old plastic tape had put it in poor condition. Both pieces are included in the revised pattern.
QUALITY:
pieces: 11 perforated; restored two pieces (1) a newly drawn collar (D) piece included, (2) restored long sleeve piece – redrawn from similar pattern.
sheet: pinholes; otherwise good.
envelope: split; repairs, old tape removed; discoloring; stamp; looks pretty bad; in rough shape but useable.
pls see photos for quality.
