View 1's dress has rick-rack trim, paired with a long-sleeved coat with cuffs; View 2's dress is finished with bias trim at the armhole and neck, paired with a short-sleeved cuffed coat. Both coats share a three- button front closing, top-stitching trim, kimono sleeves, a Peter Pan collar, two patch pockets, and side-seam slits. Fourteen pieces given.
A Moment in Fashion History
Marketed on its envelope as "Simple to Make," this dress-and-coat ensemble reflects the kimono-sleeve construction and minimal-fuss detailing that made mid-1950s children's outerwear patterns approachable for home sewers working on a deadline - a complete, coordinated outfit built from just fourteen pattern pieces.
