Simplicity 1209 offers three distinct blouse styles from the same base. Style I keeps things simple with a round, bias-bound neckline finished with a bow and lace-edged puffed sleeves. Style II squares off the neckline, gathering it into an eyelet band and closing with buttons down the center back. Style III is the most detailed of the three, with a front yoke, pleats, a button closing, and lace edging the front band, collar, and sleeves - offered in either short or long sleeves with triangular shoulder pads. Thirteen pattern pieces are included.
A Moment in Fashion History
A three-style children's blouse pattern like this one let a family stretch a single purchase across a whole wardrobe of looks - a plain everyday version, a squared-off eyelet-trimmed one, and a dressier yoked style with lace detailing, all cut from the same basic set of pieces.
