  10-piece pattern originally by Advance, the kimono blouse is pleated at center front and with or without sleeve and collar revers.  The bias-cut apron may be cut in printed or contrasting fabric. 1/2" seams are given. Sizes: Size set A fits 14-20 (32" to 38" bust, 26" to 32" waist, 35" to 41" hip). Size set B fits 40-46 (40" to 46" bust, 34" to 40" waist, 43" to 49" hip). I sewed this blouse in deep red cotton sateen and I still want to make an apron, just haven't decided what color/print it should be! The blouse is too large...
