Description
From the Envelope Back
This simply cut peasant blouse is characterized by the variety and beauty of its handwork, although its graceful lines are also lovely when it is made and decorated by machine. It has a gathered neckline, underarm gussets, and sleeves which can be worn 3/4 or full-length, with a self-formed deep ruffled cuff, gathered at the wrist or hanging loose. Our pattern will fit sizes 8 to 16. Designs and instructions are included for: embroidery (sleeves and front of blouse), smocking at neck and wrists, crocheted edges for neckline and wrists, home-made drawstring cord, and for sewing the entire blouse by hand, using insertion stitch and decorative hem-stitching. Any or all of these techniques can be employed, or a quick, plainer version can be made with casing for drawstrings and purchased braid decoration.
Pattern Specifics
Folkwear 103 includes the full-size pattern pieces, and instructions for making the Roumanian Blouse. Enlarge the photo for a better look at the details. Let me know if you’d like to see the envelope back. This is sized for Misses’ 8 to 16. The envelope measures about 11-1/4″ x 9-5/8″ and the pattern is printed on bond paper. The copyright year is 1975.
Condition
See photo. The envelope is in good condition for age and type of paper with some wear and short tears on the corners as would be expected. The pattern and instruction sheets are as new in original factory folds. No names or other markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day you pay. Unless you request otherwise, I will back this with one piece of box cardboard (to help prevent the Post Office from bending it), wrap it in plastic wrap (to help protect the item from moisture or torn packaging), then send inside a manila envelope when sent via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation. This is the cheapest postage option that includes both item protection and tracking. See the shipping page to give you an estimate on the cost of a First Class 2 package. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
