More information about this pattern

Subversive Femme patterns are digital reproductions of original patterns, normally only in one size. The original instructions are included, which are not as comprehensive as modern sewing pattern instructions. I am more than willing to provide tech assistance if you need it. Because of this I would not recommend these patterns for brand new sewers.
