Pattern Description:
1939 Vintage Simplicity pattern, with sleeve variations.

Pattern Sizing:
Size 20 (bust 38)

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes!

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Good instructions for a vintage pattern

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really like the triangular pockets.
I also like the cut at the waistline.

It is a little large in the waist and bust area for me, but otherwise a good fit.

Fabric Used:
A plain cotton, in a very whimsical print from the "Prince Charming" line of Free Spirit fabrics. And rick-rack. Gotta have the rick-rack ;)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
The neckline was high, so I lowered it. Oops! too low - thus the little white cotton at neckline.
