1930 Négligée, Original Butterick 2938, 38" bust
B2938; 1930 Négligée, Original Butterick 2938
Pattern has 11 of the 14 pieces, as the Front, Back and Collar are missing. I have drafted and included these pieces to complete the pattern. From smoke-free environment.
Turn the elegance of this négligée up as much as you do or don't like. Go plain and sensible by cutting the straight View 'B' with plain collar, long sleeve and turned up cuff or step it up by cutting the scallop edge from the plain cuff and scallop edge of collar for View 'A'; both with a pragmatic patch pocket added. Give yourself one more promotion and wear it with the lower flounce and flounced lower sleeve, as in View 'C'. For the ultimate négligée, frill it all the way up by cutting each flounce of View 'D' in lace! A short lace sleeve option is given for View 'D-1'.
'French-fitting seams provide for letting out the hips 1-1/2" if needed.' That is, 3/4" seams are given at underarm (all side) and shoulder seams and 3/8" seams are given on all other edges.
