Mail Order Pattern
Teenage Two-Piece Dress
Size 16
ca. 1939
Very young and very smart, this design will be a favorite with girls in the 10-to-16 size range. It's doubly useful, because both halves may be worn with other things.
The fitted basque-style blouse features a buttoned front, shaped waist and choice of short or long sleeves, while the separate skirt has a graceful flared silhouette. The contemporary advertisement suggested wool crepe, flat crepe, silk print or moiré, as well as crisp cottons for summer.
Unprinted pattern. Pattern has been checked and is Incomplete. Missing Blouse Front and Blouse Back pieces.
Original instruction sheet has some age-related wear and discolouration consistent with age and storage.
