Butterick 3144; 1940s; Women’s and Misses’ Long Torso Overblouse. The surplice closing sweeps into a large soft bow at the waistline of this long torso overblouse. With your favorite skirt it will look like a smart two-piece dress. Have you noted the peplum-like ruffle for hipline flattery in view A? Reissued in 2000 as Butterick 6700.
