Design
Pattern 3029 packs real versatility into just five pieces. The waist may be made with a full-length sleeve, or shortened to either of two short-sleeve lengths cut in one with the body - a clever bit of pattern engineering that lets one envelope cover several finished looks. A vest insert and standing collar are optional additions for a more tailored appearance, and a self-fabric sash ties at the front for shape. For the Misses' version, a 34-inch bust measurement suits either a 16 or 18-year-old figure, reflecting the flexible sizing standards of the era.
A Moment in Fashion History
Pattern 3029 appeared in the April 1921 Ladies' Home Journal, featured as one of the season's newest sports blouses. The magazine's own styling paired black tricolette or silk jersey with broad black-and-white stripes, keeping the blouse itself plain while letting the stripes do the work in the neckband, cuffs, and sash ends - a striking, graphic take on the design's simple lines.
