The envelope's own yardage chart calls for as little as 1⅜ yards of 36\" fabric in this size, with no hem allowance needed at all. The high round neckline sits close at the back with a simple neck opening, while the front can be finished two ways: View A extends the neckline into a shaped band with self-fabric ties, and View B uses a narrow bias binding for an even quicker finish.

The V-shaped neckline sits low in front and rises high at the back, framed by a wide draped rever that flows directly into the attached collar rather than being pieced separately. Below the waist, the fronts and back are gathered into a two-piece peplum, giving the blouse a soft flare over the hip, and it closes under the left arm. The long set-in sleeve finishes in a turned-back cuff, but is also perforated so it can be cut short instead for warmer weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Own patterns like this one were sold under a private label rather than the New York Pattern Company's own branded name, letting small department and dry-goods stores offer a full dressmaking line as if it were their own house brand.
