On the original packaging this garment was described as a “Frock for Young Women and Girls.”

The frock can be made with sleeves or without and with the back drape or without. The neck opening can be high, low or V. The tier draperies and the back cape can be made of lace.

The instructions are clear and well illustrated.

The seam allowance is 3/8 inch but the sides, shoulders, cape and sleeves have a "French fitting seam" provided for "letting out". The French fitting seams add 2 inches to the 3/8 inch seam allowance. If you are a size 42" bust you would be able to fit the frock.

5 variations of the Frock can be created using this pattern.
This Frock pattern was designed to fit the size and shape of a 1920s woman with 40”-42” bust.
