Women of the 1940s were lucky -- they wore fashions with interesting details like these almost every day. But if you can crochet, you can also slip into this nostalgic outfit whenever you like. The peplum jacket has a drawstring waist, inset pleats, and rounded lapels. It looks perfect with shorts or trousers.

Set includes self-pleating stripe-and-dot matching skirt.

Top requires:

  • eight .5 inch / 13mm buttons

  • sewing needle

  • matching sewing thread
