First published in 1938, this little dress is described in the leaflet:

Cosiness and daintiness combine in this sweet little dress. The openwork stitch and plain smooth fabric form an attractive rib for the skirt and puff sleeves.

It fastens with buttons on the shoulders, and has ribbon threaded at the waist. The pattern includes a schematic for some embroidery on the front of the dress.

It requires 3 oz of fine wool.
