<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 392360, member: 1476"]The McCall's pattern I posted has something similar, Billy. It's a sheer attached curved cape with tie front and open Watteau pleat in back (named for the artist because many of the dresses in his paintings featured.) I'm not sure this period of vintage clothing is as popular as it once was but -- if the size is large enough for the modern customer -- should find a home. Just be sure and check the hem to see if it's original. Hemlines went up, up and up during this period and some women shorten their older dresses to keep up with fashion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136142[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
