This Flapper era Slip-on Dress package includes a copy of the original artwork and a sizing chart on the front cover. On the back cover are historical notes and a cutting chart. Inside the booklet is a material requirements chart and written To Cut and To Make instructions. We would call the directions "minimal" at best. We also include the Past Patterns Guide to Editing and Modifying patterns due to bust size. The patterns come on 1 36” wide sheet and are hand-drawn, emulating the originals.

From the Past Patterns website:

Our first goal, at Past Patterns, is to make patterns of existing antique garments from which you can make reproductions.

We do this with the hope that people will start creating and wearing reproductions instead of antique originals.

The clothes we wear and that our grandparents wore are part of our cultural history.

Just as you would not abuse antiques furniture by cutting off decorative trim, so you should not abuse antique garments by wearing them.

Our second goal is that you pick up a little bit of history when you sew the garment.

The fit, the cut, the fasteners, the fabric design, just to mention a few things, are part to the technology of the time.

Our third goal, in sewing the patterns, is to spark an interest in genealogy and local history.

Researching local history is always a rewarding pursuit.
