The jumper's bodice hangs in soft gathers from shoulder yokes and opens into a deep neckline that frames the blouse collar. A shaped mid-section fits the natural waistline, and the skirt flares from four gores. View 1 cuts the skirt front and mid-section on a fold and closes with a 9-inch slide fastener in the side placket; View 2 opens down the front with a row of buttons and adds square patch pockets. The blouse has a back yoke, a convertible collar, a buttoned front, and a shoulder pad, with short sleeves finished in turned-back cuffs or long sleeves gathered into buttoned cuffs. The envelope suggests pique, chambray, percale, spun rayon, cotton broadcloth, or a rayon and wool blend. In size 14 the jumper is 41½ inches long at center back and about 2 yards around the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"fashion-history\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Moment in Fashion History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1942, as the United States settled into the war, a jumper and blouse made sense for nearly every woman. One jumper worn over several blouses gave many outfits from little fabric, and the cottons and blends suggested on this envelope were practical choices for women heading to offices, classrooms, and new wartime jobs. The puffed sleeves and gathered yokes keep a pre-war softness, but the clean lines and button-front option point toward the practical clothing that would define the years ahead. Advance patterns were sold through J.C. Penney stores, putting designs like this within reach of women across the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection data-section=\"illustration\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIllustration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe envelope front and back are shown as scanned, framed on our blue mat without retouching, so the artwork appears in its true color and condition.
