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 have added helpful hints were possible, and am more than willing to provide tech assistance if you need it.
