Tucked inside was the "V" cutout for view C, in a soft dark navy blue wool. It's a nicely woven fabric - be sure to click on the image for a close-up view. The transfer is partially used (only view C is unused). I wonder which technique our mystery seamstress used - embroidery or trapunto?
Can you picture it?
Have killed some time looking online at vintage patterns. Your pattern here caught my eye--view B has that reverse-angled-corner neckline that I sometimes see on 1940s formalwear. Here it is apparently a little more informal. I wonder if this neckline will come back into style. As a dress neckline it is discreet yet suggestive, a peekaboo without cleavage. Thanks for posting!
