Originally published in 1935, this book contains 11 patterns with full instructions for making along with a picture of the finished garment. Jacket dress, one piece lacy dress, two piece lacy dress, swagger coat, one piece sports frock, lace blouse, one piece shirtwaist dress, round neck blouse, two piece dress, sports coat, and our favorite -- sun back dress with bolero. All of the patterns are done in crochet except the swagger coat, which is knitted.

Patterns vary from size 16 (34 inch bust) to size 20 (38 inch bust). For larger sizes, the book even covers how to increase the sweaters one size. If this still does not properly size for you, we also provide unbound: 

- basic directions for changing the size of a garment.
- instructions for measuring your body for vintage patterns.
- directions for choosing your size based on body measurements 
  from the late 1800s through the 1950s when corsets and girdles
  made women thinner.
- fittings guideline chart you can use to adjust patterns to fit
  tighter or looser based on your own preferences of a snug or 
  loose fit with your clothing.
- knitting/crochet conversion instructions you can use if you
  like a specific pattern but are not skilled in knitting/crochet
  (or vice versa), you can do what you are familiar with.
