This pattern has been carefully digitized from one of the vintage sewing magazines in my collection. They were published in the 1930's-1950's and came with multi pattern sheets from which the pattern pieces have been traced. The lines, text and other markings are hand drawn digitally, carefully following the original.

Make sure you print att 100% (original size) - do not let your printer rescale it (i.e. "fit to page"-option)! Assemble the printed pages with the help of the "Print layout" page, using the triangular markings on the pages to line them up correctly.3) A 1-page PDF-file with the pattern pieces on a full size A0 sheet.

NOTE REGARDING INSTRUCTIONS: Instructions to these patterns are often non-existing, and if there are any, they're very brief, mainly telling you in which order to put the pieces together. Therefore this is NOT a pattern suitable for a beginner; you will need sewing skills and knowledge about how to put a garment together.

DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible for any issues arising due to printing out the pattern pieces at wrong scale, or other reasons. Also, I strongly recommend you make a muslin before cutting into that gorgeous fabric you plan for the finished garment!
