This pattern is a "Resto-Vival" pattern and is suitable for looks from the early to mid 1930s. These pyjamas (or pajamas) are as chic to wear for the seaside, on the boardwalk, or by the poolside as they are for the boudoir. In cottons and linens they are cool summer wear. In satins and silks these pajamas are glamourous for the hostess or for lounging.
The sleeveless pajamas have an open neckline accented by a two piece collar. The loose fit of the pajamas can be cinched in at the waist by using ties that can be applied by stitching at the side fronts or by creating a slit opening and passing the belt through. The ties create a bow at the center back. The back of the pajamas button up. These pajamas have very wide legs, the opening of the size 16 (bust 34) at the lower edge of the leg is 1 3/4 yards.
This pattern also includes a short sleeved cropped Eton Jacket, or bolero.

If you are between sizes cut the next size larger, as my patterns have less ease than modern standards. Please order pattern by measurements (given in inches), as the size numbers do not equate to modern pattern sizing and pattern sizing can vary from pattern to pattern on my website.
Note that these instructions are not illustrated and are text only and sparce compared to modern patterns. Please read below for more information on "Resto-Vival" Patterns.
This pattern was based on a vintage size 16 (bust 34) original historic pattern. This pattern was originally only available in sizes 30 inch to 38 inch bust and yardage requirements are given only for those sizes. A cutting guide is included only for size 16 (bust 34). For all other sizes please use your discretion when buying fabric lengths, and all other sizes will need to create their own cutting layout. The trouser pieces are very large and it is suggested to use at least 45" wide fabric for size packs B and C.
The sample of the pattern was made up in a linen for the blouse section and printed cotton for the trouser section with vintage buttons up the back. Please note that additional buttons were used on the sample garment, more than are indicated on the original pattern.
