This pattern set includes a close-fitting, lined, boned, gathered top with an attached collar, yokes, and four-piece gathered sleeve options. Version A features epaulettes and appliques, while Version B has a hand-tacked collar overlay. The underlined skirt boasts a waistband, side seams, and a back extension into a train with pleats and a placket. Both top and skirt are finished with bias neck and hem bindings and include a pleated belt adorned with bows or knots, all secured with a back hook closure. Designed for lightweight woven fabrics, the set requires notions such as flexible trims, scalloped lace trims, lace appliques, covered boning, hooks, and ribbons, with quantities varying by size. Suitable fabrics include silk, shantung, and taffeta, with lace for contrast. The pattern provides all necessary pieces and instructions for sizes 16-24.
